An engaging introduction to human and animal movement seen through the lens of mechanics.\nHow do Olympic sprinters run so fast? Why do astronauts adopt a bounding gait on the moon? How do running shoes improve performance while preventing injuries? This engaging and generously illustrated book answers these questions by examining human and animal movement through the lens of mechanics. The authors present simple conceptual models to study walking and running and apply mechanical principles to a range of interesting examples. They explore the biology of how movement is produced, examining the structure of a muscle down to its microscopic force-generating motors. Drawing on their deep expertise, the authors describe how to create simulations that provide insight into muscle coordination\n\nBiomechanics of Movement\nThe Science of Sports, Robotics, and Rehabilitation\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked servi;
