Publisher's Synopsis
This book serves as a bridge between biomechanics and the practice of sport, pilates, yoga, and dance, providing the reader with a complete understanding of how the body functions while being exercised. Jo Ann Staugaard- Jones' background in movement sciences has led to a deep interest in the ability of the body to heal itself, specifically through knowledge of muscles and what they can do. Awareness of this potential is key to the prevention of injuries, obviating the need for joint surgery, and the power to maintain health, weight, posture, strength, and perform well in sports are all clearly addressed in The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement. Excellent full colour detailed anatomical drawings makes anatomy and movement understandable and helps to simplify a complex subject. This book will appeal to fitness professionals, students of dance, anatomy, Pilates, yoga as well as athletes, coaches and personal trainers.
