Description:

Hall (kinesiology, University of Texas) uses new findings from the research literature to exemplify the concepts presented, and integrates anatomical and mechanical concepts and applications throughout the introductory textbook. The updated edition reflects recent developments in the effects of weightlessness on the musculoskeletal system, osteoporosis, and the stretch-shortening cycle in muscle.
