Abernethy (U. of Queensland, Australia), Bruce and Vaughn Kippers, Hanrahan, Pandy et al. teach undergraduate students in human movement, kinesiology, and sport and exercise science about the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural, and psychological bases and basic concepts of human movement, as well as changes in movement that occur with the processes of growth, development, maturation, and aging throughout the life span, and as an adaptation to training, practice, and other lifestyle factors, in terms of functional anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control, and sport and exercise physiology. They also discuss multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches. This edition has a new chapter on the historical origins of human movement science, reorganization of exercise physiology content to provide more discrete coverage of nutrition, and a new concluding section on applications in the prevention and management of chronic disease and injury and performance enhancement in sport and the workplace.
