Background Info
Foundations of Kinesiology by
Foundations of Kinesiology provides a guided introduction to the discipline and professions of kinesiology using a holistic, learner-centered, and skill-based approach. The text explores the core subdisciplines of kinesiology and allows students to explore the research and physical activity contributions that each has to offer. The text also considers how the discipline is crucial in enabling healthy lives by illustrating real-life scenarios across several chapters

Kinesiology and Sports Science by
The scientific study of human body movement is known as kinesiology. It primarily addresses the physiological, biomechanical and psychological dynamic principles and mechanisms of movement. Human kinesiology has applications in the area of biomechanics, orthopedics and sports psychology. Kinesiology involves various principles of neuroplasticity, adaptation through exercise, motor redundancy, etc. It primarily applies the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology and neuroscience to study movements. The discipline of sports science studies how the human body works during exercise and how health is promoted through sports and physical activities. The study of sports science includes areas like physiology, psychology, anatomy, biomechanics and biokinetics. This book studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of kinesiology and sports science and their utmost significance in modern times. It traces the progress of these fields and highlights some of their key concepts and applications. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts.

Manual of structural kinesiology by
A very careful review of the entire text including all figures and tables has been conducted with the intent of simplifying and clarifying for better understanding when possible. Additional terms, content and concepts in select cases have been added. These include body positions, open vs. c;lose packed joint positions, concave-convex rule, Lombard's paradox, and a lever terminology table. Chapters 4 through 11 now have a table detailing how to locate and palpate the key bony and joint landmarks. The labeling and captions in many figures have been enhanced with further details. Terms for the "peroneal" muscles and nerves have been changed to more current international term fibular or fibularis. In many cases fibularis is directly followed by peroneal in parenthesis to avoid confusion. Further details on the plantaris muscle have also been added. Additional references have been added along with some revisions and additions to the review and laboratory exercises, and end-of-chapter worksheets. Additional questions and exercises will continue to be added to the Online Learning Center. Finally, a few new terms have been added to the Glossary

Statistics in Kinesiology by
"Statistics in Kinesiology emphasizes the practical use of statistics as a tool to help those in the movement sciences analyze quantitative data. It covers topics that are commonly seen in movement science disciplines, such as correlation and bivariate regression, tests, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the interpretation of interactions in factorial analyses of variance.
