DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The picture on the front cover of this book depicts a young man pulling a fishnet, a task of practical relevance for many centuries. It is a complex task, involving load transmission throughout the body, intricate balance, and eye head-hand coordination. The quest toward understanding how we perform such tasks with skill and grace, often in the presence of unpredictable pertur bations, has a long history. However, despite a history of magnificent sculptures and drawings of the human body which vividly depict muscle ac tivity and interaction, until more recent times our state of knowledge of human movement was rather primitive. During the past century this has changed; we now have developed a considerable database regarding the com position and basic properties of muscle and nerve tissue and the basic causal relations between neural function and biomechanical movement. Over the last few decades we have also seen an increased appreciation of the impor tance of musculoskeletal biomechanics: the neuromotor system must control movement within a world governed by mechanical laws. We have now col lected quantitative data for a wealth of human movements. Our capacity to understand the data we collect has been enhanced by our continually evolving modeling capabilities and by the availability of computational power. What have we learned? This book is designed to help synthesize our current knowledge regarding the role of muscles in human movement. The study of human movement is not a mature discipline.

It includes a study of the principal types of muscular exercise, with inquiry as to how they are performed, how they react on the body, and their relation to the problems of bodily development, bodily efficiency, and the prevention and cure of certain defects and deformities. To make such a study it is necessary to analyze complex movements into their simplest elements, note carefully what bones, joints, and muscles are involved, what part each muscle has in the work, and under what mechanical conditions its work is done. There are two main reasons for our interest in the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a must-have for fitness professionals and enthusiasts. This unique muscle manual categorizes over 80 muscles into over 40 movements with medically accurate illustrations. Too many muscle manuals concentrate on muscle locations and origins and insertions, creating guides that emphasize an endless list of technical terminology with little functionality. The Movement Muscle Manual is a compact guide that categorizes muscles by the movements they facilitate. Therefore, the reader gains a much better understanding of how muscles assist and oppose each other to create a movement. The difference between good trainers and great trainers is often an in-depth understanding of functional anatomy - a deep understanding of how the body's structures relate to movement and training.
