- catalog abstract "The Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement provides a long overdue, balanced introduction to the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural and psychological bases of human movement. The book has sections covering each of the major biophysical subdisciplines of human movement (functional anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control and sport and exercise psychology) and within each section a common thematic organization of chapters devoted to basic concepts, to maturational and ageing changes in each movement dimension across the lifespan, and to adaptational changes in movement capability arising from training and lifestyle factors. Boxed areas within each chapter provide more detailed exposition of some pivotal studies which have underpinned current knowledge. Given how central an understanding of human movement and its enhancement is to a wide range of human endeavours, the text will serve as an invaluable introduction to both students and professionals involved in sport and exercise science, ergonomics, music and performing arts, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, medicine and other rehabilitation and health sciences.".
