Beschreibung:
This text provides an overview of human motion studies (biomechanics) using martial arts as extensive examples and references to fundamental theory. It covers in-depth the anatomical foundation of biomechanics, the biomechanical and physiological foundation of human motion, and fundamentals of biomechanics.
The Anatomical Foundations of Biomechanics: Introduction. The Anatomy of Human Motion. Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics. The Biomechanical and Physiological Foundations of Human Motion: The Concept of Muscular Mechanics. Movement Control (Muscular Physiology). The Fundamentals of Biomechanics. Kinematics in Linear Motion. Kinematics in Angular Motion. Kinetics in Linear Motion. Kinetics in Angular Motion. Martial Arts Biomechanics: The Biomechanics of Throwing Arts. The Biomechanics of Striking, Kicking Arts. The Defense and Attack on Vital Points (Kyusho): Finger(s) Manipulation. The Biomechanics of the Sword Art. Appendices.
