The first edition of Introduction to Biomechanics presents foundational knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of biomechanics. This textbook presents this foundational knowledge as it relates to various applications of biomechanics including the fields of sport science and rehabilitation science (physical therapy, occupational therapy and clinical biomechanics). An interactive approach is taken to support student learning and knowledge retention by using examples that are native to students and allow students to experience textbook content.
