Anatomical Kinesiology, Revised Edition

If you are a student, professional, or enthusiast of kinesiology, you need a comprehensive and concise resource to build a solid foundation of knowledge on human anatomy and movement. Fortunately, Michael Gross’ Anatomical Kinesiology Revised Edition provides exactly that and much more.

This textbook covers the muscles and related anatomy that are responsible for body movement, a topic that is foundational to other important areas such as biomechanics, musculoskeletal injuries, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and sports performance.

The book is divided into five sections and 18 chapters that present the anatomy and physiology concepts most relevant to kinesiology. Starting with body orientation, terminology, and the skeletal, muscular, and nervous organ systems, the sections become more detailed with the bones and their landmarks, and the muscles divided by regions such as the lower extremities, axial skeleton, and upper extremities.

One of the best features of this book is the perforated workbook located at the end of the text. It offers students review questions and study material that will help readers memorize and understand the function of various bones and muscles of the body.

What sets this book apart from other kinesiology textbooks is the author’s approach to presenting the material. He does not simply list anatomical terms or explain muscle functions, but rather contextualizes them with real-life examples and analogies that make the subject matter easier to digest and more engaging to learn.

Michael Gross himself has vast experience in the field of biomechanics and kinesiology as a professor, researcher, consultant, and author. His passion for the subject is evident in the way he writes, and his expertise ensures the accuracy and relevance of the information presented in the book.

If you are a student of kinesiology, this book is a must-have resource that will help you succeed in your studies and beyond. If you are a professional in the field, this book will refresh and expand your knowledge and provide you with new insights that can improve your practice. And if you are simply an enthusiast of human anatomy and movement, this book will deepen your appreciation and understanding of the amazing mechanisms that make us move.

Ordering the book is easy, and you can choose from the paperback, hardcover, or ebook editions depending on your preference. Whether you are studying kinesiology for the first time or looking for a comprehensive reference that will serve you for years to come, Anatomical Kinesiology Revised Edition is the perfect book for you.
