About this book
This book provides a detailed analysis of human movement, building from simple physical models to more complex analyses and biomechanical models, including forces internal to the body. The book integrates principles of Physics with the functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to understand how movement in general, and dance movements specifically, can be executed to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.
- Introduction to the Mechanics of Solids based on human movement.
- Integrates many examples from current dance biomechanics research.
- The methods taught in this book can be applied to any form of physical activity.
