Introduction to Kinesiology: A Biophysical Perspective was written and designed specifically for introductory courses focusing on the biophysical aspects of kinesiology and exercise science. This package is the newest addition to our line of kinesiology-related resources and offers a student-friendly overview of the major areas of study in physical activity and health from a biophysical perspective. Chapters include: introduction to the field of kinesiology; anatomy; sports medicine; physiology; sports biomechanics; technology and sport; motor learning; nutrition; weight management; physical fitness; and career opportunities |

I just received Introduction to Kinesiology: A Biophysical Perspective by Peter Klavora. It was like Christmas in October because I have been looking for a text like this for two years. This book is a perfect fit for our course. I have reviewed it and showed it to several students. It was unanimous—we all agreed that this text satisfied our needs for program-related content and students’ needs for a visually appealing text that is easy to read. I plan to adopt this as a supplemental textbook for one of our spring 2010 courses and as the primary text for the course next fall.
