To my father and role model, Philip R. McGinnis (1922-2014), and my twin brother and best friend, Michael G. McGinnis (1954-2013).
This textbook was written as an introduction to sport and exercise biomechanics. The text is primarily intended for undergraduate students majoring in kinesiology, exercise science, or physical education, but it is suitable for students in other human movement fields as well. Most of the examples and applications appearing in the book are from sport or exercise, but examples from clinical and everyday human movement activities have also been included. No matter what human movement field interests readers, knowledge of mechanics will be valuable to them in their work. For many human movement professionals, their only formal instruction in the mechanics of human movement occurs during a single undergraduate course in kinesiology or biomechanics. This book was developed with this constraint in mind. The goal of the book and its ancillary materials is to present an introduction to the biomechanics of human movement in a clear, concise, user-friendly manner.
This fourth edition is an improvement over the previous editions in several ways. The most significant change is the addition of concept applications that are presented in sidebars. One or more of these concept applications have been included in almost every chapter. These concept applications provide examples of practical applications of principles presented in the text. The self-experiments remain but are presented in sidebars and now have titles. Key points and important equations are also highlighted with eye-catching design elements. Important equations still appear on the inside cover of the book. These equations are also provided in the web resource, arranged by chapter in a format that can easily be printed for use when solving problems. Many photos and figures have been updated, and most of the photos are now in color. The chapter about technologies used by researchers in quantitative biomechanical analyses has been updated to include new technologies available to coaches, athletes, and the public to measure aspects of their or athletes movements. The review questions and problems have been moved to the web resource. Some review questions and problems were revised, and some new ones were added.
