The text provides undergraduate students with a broad        foundation for more detailed study of the subdisciplines of human        movement and for cross-disciplinary studies. Readers will learn the        multi-dimensional changes in movement and movement potential that occur        throughout the life span as well as those changes that occur as        adaptations to training, practice, and other lifestyle factors.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       This third edition includes the latest research and improved        presentation to address areas of growth and change in the fields of        human movement. The following are important updates to this edition:     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • A new chapter on historical origins of human movement science provides        students with an appreciation of the development of the field as well as        its future directions.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Content regarding exercise physiology has been reorganized to provide        more discrete coverage of key concepts in nutrition.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • A new concluding section focuses on applications in the areas of        prevention and management of chronic disease, prevention and management        of injury, and performance enhancement in sport and the workplace, as        well as the benefits of sport and exercise science to work, sport, and        everyday living.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Ancillary materials support instructors in teaching across disciplines        as they assist students in understanding the breadth of content in this        comprehensive text.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Using a modular approach to teaching sport and exercise science, \u003ci\u003eBiophysical        Foundations of Human Movement, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, offers students a        structured understanding of how the subdisciplines work independently        and in tandem. Following a general introduction to the field of human        movement studies, readers are introduced to basic concepts, life-span        changes, and adaptations arising in response to training in each of the        five major biophysical subdisciplines of human movement. Each        subdiscipline is given a brief introduction, including the definition        and historical development of the subdiscipline, the typical issues and        problems it addresses, the levels of analysis it uses, and relevant        professional training and organizations. Multi-disciplinary and        cross-disciplinary approaches to human movement are also discussed along        with contemporary applications. By studying the integration of knowledge        from a number of the biophysical subdisciplines, students will be better        prepared for advanced study and careers reliant on the integration of        knowledge from various disciplines and perspectives.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       The third edition offers tools for retaining the material, including        learning objectives and summaries in each chapter, a glossary, and lists        of web-based resources. Throughout the text, special “In Focus” features        highlight key organizations, individuals, and studies from around the        world that have contributed to the current understanding of human        movement. These features help readers appreciate the evolution of the        field so that they may better understand its direction. Students        interested in further study will find specialized texts for each of the        subdisciplines listed in the Further Reading and References section of        each chapter along with updated lists of websites.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       The third edition of \u003ci\u003eBiophysical FFoundations of Human Movement\u003c\/i\u003e        offers a comprehensive introduction for students, scientists, and        practitioners involved in the many professions grounded in or related to        human movement, kinesiology, and sport and exercise science. By        considering the effect of adaptations in each of the biophysical        subdisciplines of human movement, \u003ci\u003eBiophysical Foundations of Human        Movement\u003c\/i\u003e also illustrates the important role physical activity plays        in the maintenance of health throughout the life span.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bruce Abernethy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31971949871236,"sku":"9781492576082","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0308\/2292\/4420\/files\/9781492576082_c934cf15-9f7c-4591-ad10-ce2f583dbcfd.jpg?v=1783403768","url":"https:\/\/human-kinetics-2020.myshopify.com\/products\/biophysical-foundations-of-human-movement-1","provider":"Human Kinetics Europe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
