An Introduction to Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise by James Watkins
The organisation and presentation of the book is based on the open-learning model. Chapter overviews summarise the content of each chapter. Learning objectives outline what each student should learn from each chapter. Key terms are highlighted and defined in a running glossary throughout the text. Applied examples illustrate all concepts and principles. There is extensive use of figures and conceptual models. There are review questions and references that guide further learning, along with an extensive index.
