Trail Guide to Movement, 2nd Edition

Embark on a fascinating journey with author Andrew Biel as he guides you through the process of building a human body in motion, one step at a time. In Trail Guide to Movement, Biel’s signature approachable style and gentle humor make the study of human movement both accessible and engaging. Instead of focusing on the body in isolated parts, this award-winning guide takes a holistic approach, assembling the body through larger, interconnected systems. Biel invites you to be an active participant, constructing the body from the ground up. Your journey starts with the design of four essential components for movement: connective tissue, joints, muscles, and nerves. Once you've grasped these, you'll apply key biomechanical principles and test the body through an exploration of posture and gait. To help reinforce what you've learned, the book includes over 100 review questions. Trail Guide to Movement earned the gold medal in the PubWest Book Design Awards (Academic Category).
