Contents: Preface. 1. Biomechanics: application of mechanical principles. 2. Physical exercise and weight training. 3. Dance kinesiology. 4. Understanding human anatomy and human physiology. 5. Personal trainer. 6. Sport injury and sport medicine. 7. Gymnastics and physical education. 8. Weight training and body building. 9. Weight-bearing exercises. 10. Sports science. 11. How important is physical fitness?
The word biomechanics developed during the early 1970s, describing the application of engineering mechanics to biological and medical systems. It is the application of mechanical principles to biological systems, such as humans, animals, plants, organs and cells. Kinematics is the branch of biomechnics about the study of movement with reference to the amount of time taken to carry out the activity. The present book entitled Biomechanics in Physical Education discusses all the aspects of biomechanics in the field of physical education.
