{"product_id":"biomechanics","title":"Biomechanics","description":"Each new print copy includes the Navigate Companion Website which includes a variety of learning tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003eBiomechanics: A Case-Based Approach\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the comprehension, retention, and application of the core concepts of biomechanics through the use of problem-based learning strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author utilizes a student-centered approach by deploying a conversational writing style, tying new concepts to everyday experience, and emphasizing concepts over computation. A wide variety of pedagogical features aid this approach, with Section Questions, Competency Checks, and various boxed features serving to reinforce the content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiomechanics: A Case-Based Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is organized into 18 lessons that cover the three levels of biomechanical analysis: whole body, joint, and tissue. Rather than moving from one level to the next, the author deploys a \"whole-part-whole\" organization in which mechanical principles are described at the whole-body level, followed by relevant discussion of the basic material mechanics of biological tissues and unique properties of the muscle-tendon complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-NEW - Process Boxes illustrate the link between inputs and outputs, providing a visual depiction of the underlying mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e-NEW – Nine detailed case studies have been added throughout the text, with a summary of all nine cases presented in the final lesson.\u003cbr\u003e-EXPANDED – The use of vector diagrams has been greatly expanded in the Second Edition to help students better visualize key material.\u003cbr\u003e-KEY - Section Questions open each major section and present salient questions addressing the focus of the section.\u003cbr\u003e-KEY – Competency Checks ask students conceptual and quantitative questions to assist in gauging their understanding of the material.\u003cbr\u003e-KEY - Essential Math boxes provide a review of mathematical concepts.\u003cbr\u003e-KEY – Applied Research boxes provide examples that are helpful in illustrating biomechanical concepts and present evidence of the practical value of biomechanics.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490140692853,"sku":"9781284102338","price":112.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781284102338.jpg?v=1786442027","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/biomechanics","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
