"Fundamentals of Biomechanics is an exceptionally well written and structured introductory text on the biomechanics of movement. It integrates mechanical and biological concepts in a way that enhances understanding of what students often find is a difficult area of study!!! Many students will be stimulated by the book while all will find it easy to read as [Dr. Knudson] has integrated the topics covered into a coherent unit."
(Bruce Elliott, Professor of Biomechanics, The University of Western Australia, Australia)
"Fundamentals of Biomechanics delivers everything it promises, and more. The challenge of teaching and learning biomechanics is understanding the two distinct fields that it comprises - biology and mechanics. In my experience, some students enter biomechanics with aptitude and interest in one of these fields and reluctance to the other. As a leader in biomechanics, Dr. Knudson seems to realize this and does an expert job of teaching these two fields in separate parts of the textbook. The text is clearly written, and includes many helpful illustrations and examples."
