Fundamentals of Biomechanics 2nd edition introduces the exciting world of how human movement is created and how it can be enhanced. The book presents a comprehensive review of the major concepts of biomechanics and summarizes them in nine principles of biomechanics. Throughout the text are numerous examples of applying these principles to the work of kinesiology professionals. Specific case studies are presented in four application chapters: physical education, coaching, strength and conditioning, and sports medicine.

Human-Like Biomechanics is a comprehensive introduction into modern geometrical methods to be used as a unified research approach in two apparently separate and rapidly growing fields: mathematical biomechanics and humanoid robotics.

This book presents an understanding of biomechanics through chapters analyzing human behavior in sport from a medical perspective. It offers a comprehensive range of principles, methods, techniques, and tools to provide the reader with clear knowledge of the impact of biomechanic processes. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can profit from this compendium of knowledge on biomechanics applied to the human body.

This book presents peer-reviewed contributions from the MICCAI 2023 Computational Biomechanics for Medicine CBM XVIII Workshop held in conjunction with the 26th International MICCAI Conference. The content focuses on applications of computational biomechanics to computer-integrated medicine, which includes medical image computing, application of machine learning in image analysis and biomechanics, atlas based biomechanical simulations, novel algorithms of computational biomechanics and experimental methods for analysis of disease and injury mechanisms.
