This unique reference should be in any serious sports medicine or health library

This unique reference should be in any serious sports medicine or health library. It explores the biomechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal components and the response of these components to physical stress. From the effects of aging on muscles to functional anatomy of the entire system, this blends nearly 700 color illustrations showing key structures and biomechanical properties with new tables covering the actions of individual muscles. Several new case studies illustrate the latest research and how they apply to sports and general living.
