 | Biomechanics of Human Motion: Applications in the Martial Arts, Second Edition Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Sports and Leisure; Biomedical Engineering; Industrial Engineering & Manufacturing; Mechanical Engineering; Sport and Exercise Science; Mechanics; Physical Activity and Health; Ergonomics; This book covers the general laws governing human biomechanics through an extensive review of martial arts techniques and references to fundamental theory. Using straightforward mathematics and physics, this work covers indepth the anatomical foundation of biomechanics and physiological foundation of human motion through specific and relevant martial arts applications. This book also covers the kinematics and kinetics of biomechanics via examples from martial arts and their comparison to different sports techniques. It is written to be used and referenced by biomechanical professionals and martial arts enthusiasts. Emeric Arus, Ph.D, is a Grand Master of Judo and Karate (7th Degree Black Belt) and has been an active practitioner and instructor of the martial arts for the past 35 years. He is also an emeritus adjunct faculty member in biomechanics at Hofstra University. He has published over 30 journal and popular magazine articles in joint studies related to martial arts and their biomechanical applications. |
