This third edition is dedicated to the memory of two strong,

 outgoing, and adventurous women whose presence raised

 the spirits of those around them--my mother, Doris Joye



   McGinnis (1925-2009), and my friend, colleague, and

      former student, Julianne Abendroth (1962-2011).

           You are watching the Olympic Games on television when you see a high jumper

           successfully jump over a crossbar set more than a foot above his head. The

           technique he uses looks very awkward. He approaches the bar from the side,

           and when he jumps off the ground he turns his back toward the bar. His head

           and arms clear the bar first; he then arches his back and finally kicks his legs out

           and up to get them over the bar. He lands in the pit in an ungainly position: on

           his shoulders and back with his legs extended in the air above him. You think to

           yourself, How can he jump so high using such an odd-looking technique? Certainly,

           there must be another technique that is both more effective and more graceful

           looking. Biomechanics might provide you with some insights to answer this and

           other questions you have about human movement.

answer, and for the majority of readers this may be true,

you are probably unable to answer the other questions

because you do not have enough prior knowledge of

biomechanics to know how it can benefit you. So let me

give you some reasons for studying biomechanics. This

may provide you with some intrinsic motivation to get

started on the task of learning about biomechanics.



   You are probably planning a career as a physical

education teacher, coach, or some other physical activity

specialist; and you probably are or have been active as

a participant in one or more sports or fitness activities.

Suppose a student or athlete asks you, "Why do I have

to do this skill this way?" or "Why isn't this technique

better?" (see figure I.1). Perhaps you have even asked

such questions yourself. Was the coach or teacher able

to answer your questions? Were these questions asked

of you? Could you answer them? Traditional teaching

and coaching methods tell you what techniques to teach
