The Manual of Structural Kinesiology (19th Edition) is a comprehensive guide to the study of human movement and the structures involved in the process. This textbook covers a wide range of topics related to kinesiology, including the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system, biomechanics, and the principles of movement analysis.
The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of structural kinesiology. Readers will learn about the bones, joints, and muscles of the body, as well as how these structures work together to produce movement. The text also explores the various types of movement, such as flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction, and how they are controlled by the nervous system.
In addition to providing a detailed overview of the science of kinesiology, the Manual of Structural Kinesiology also includes practical applications and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts discussed in the text. This book is an essential resource for students studying kinesiology, physical therapy, sports medicine, and other related fields.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
