Kinesiology - E-Book: The Skeletal System and Muscle Function

This was a very detailed and well-organized book.Each chapter begins with a chapter outline and objective, as well key terms (these are incredibly helpful when reviewing the chapter and creating study guides). There are multiple diagrams in each chapter that are clearly labeled, and detailed definitions. All of the information in the chapter is given in bullet points, which I found incredibly helpful and easy to read. There are also review questions at the end of each chapter. This is an amazing resource for anyone in the science or medical field needing to know kinesiology.

I've looked at quite a few K. books, as well as anatomy & physiology textbooks. I pretty much use text books as references when designing workouts and troubleshooting.This is a great book, its strength is the excellent information organization. Good overview of systems and logical progression of details. I first got this book from the library, and decided very quickly that I wanted to own it. I have no issue with a 6+ year old text book for $2 + shipping. No need to pay full price for content that doesn't drastically change with time, the text book industry is more or less a racket, always coming up with new editions to keep the students broke while making a profit on basically rehashed material. Really! there are no new parts in the body.

A very well written textbook with excellent images for students and others who want to study highly complex biomechanics and neuromuscular physiology of human body.

Purchased this book to assist with the personal training certification since kinesiology is the area I was lacking knowledge. I am currently about half way through and know it is very beneficial. Very well written with good examples so the concepts are easy to grasp and retain. Money well spent.

This is an outstanding book as are all of the authors works. Great color, quality book, god price, I got a new copy from a 3rd party seeler with the nice DVD for under 40$, well worth it, even if I paid more.

I bought this book to help me delve deeper into anatomy as it applies to movement. As a Pilates instructor I was looking for a plain spoken yet informative kinesiology book, this is it! Easily understood, written in plain English, this will help you in your exploration of how movement happens.

An excellent text on kinesiology. Muscolino, however, has a non-standard approach to agonist-antagonist. His definitions and descriptions make good sense of these terms, but it may confuse students when every other author uses the traditional definitions. Otherwise, the book is well-illustrated and the text clearly presents every concept point-by-point.

Just as expected

For me it was waste of money, I really felt disapointed. But maybe for other persons this book is ok.

This book is very well written. The information is easy to grasp. I recommend this book for any one studying Anatomy or just generally interested in how the body and bones work together.

A fantastic resource. Absolutely packed with information and clear illustrations. The only thing I need to add was how disappointed I was in the condition of the book on its arrival. The packaging was not damaged but the book looked like it had been shoved up against something or partially crushed as the corner was misshappened. This was not a bargain bin book. Whoever put it in the box like that just didn't care. If that were in a bookstore it would be 40% off. As far as the content of the book, you won't find a more comprehensive resource
