Teaching Physical Education First Online Edition, 2008 Muska Mosston Sara Ashworth Teaching Physical Education can change your life as a teacher. It has mine. It is a book that I’ve held close through nearly forty years of teaching. Many ideas about effective teaching can be found within its covers but, most importantly, it will enable you to better translate your intent as a teacher into purposeful action.

Duane Knudson Fundamentals of Biomechanics Second Edition Kinesiology is the scholarly study of human movement, and biomechanics is one of the many academic subdisciplines of kinesiology. Biomechanics in kinesiology involves the precise description of human movement and the study of the causes of human movement. The study of biomechanics is relevant to professional practice in many kinesiology professions. The physical educator or coach who is teaching movement technique and the athletic trainer or physical therapist treating an injury use biomechanics to qualitatively analyze movement. The chapters in part I demonstrate the importance of biomechanics in kinesiology and introduce you to key biomechanical terms and principles that will be developed throughout the text. The lab activities associated with part I relate to finding biomechanical knowledge and identifying biomechanical principles in action.
