Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fourth Edition, provides a scientific foundation to the study of human movement by exploring how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles to produce human motion in relation to biomechanical principles.

This scientifically thorough and well-organized text integrates the fields of mechanics and neuromuscular physiology to better understand human movement.

Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fifth Edition, draws on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics to explore how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles to produce human motion. This contemporary approach is much different from the traditional approach, which focuses solely on mechanics and does not consider the role of the sensorimotor system in the control of human movement. Authored by Roger Enoka, a widely recognized and esteemed scholar in neuromechanics, this influential text is an essential resource in biomechanics, motor learning, and applied physiology, making complex information accessible to students.

Introduction to Sports Biomechanics has been developed to introduce you to the core topics covered in the first two years of your degree. It will give you a sound grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Part One covers the anatomical and mechanical foundations of biomechanics and Part Two concentrates on the measuring techniques which sports biomechanists use to study the movements of the sports performer. In addition, the book is highly illustrated with line drawings and photographs which help to reinforce explanations and examples.

Kinanthropometrics is the study of the human body size and somatotypes and their quantitative relationships with exercise and nutrition. This is the third edition of a successful text on the subject.

General study of the traditional culture, social structure and economic conditions of the island community of Tamana, Kiribati - covers historical background, land tenure, work attitude, households, time budget, subsistence farming and fishing, cash crops, diet, groups, attitudes to government, agricultural policy, educational policy, etc.; considers future economic development issues. Graphs, illustrations, map, references, statistical tables.

Students who are studying biomechanics in years two and three of their degree and postgraduate students of biomechanics will find this textbook invaluable.

An overview of the salient normal and mutable features of human muscle, nerve, and connective tissue elements as they relate to the theory and practice of physical therapy. Of interest to physical therapists who have studied the theory of electrical stimulation, and to researchers investigating excitable and connective tissues.
