"This book is composed of an assortment of both qualitative and quantitative research. Some chapters include empirically collected data, others are more philosophical 'think-pieces' -- representing an array of current issues, research foci, methodologies, and perspectives in the field of kinesiology. Contributing authors hail from institutions all over the United States - ranging from Texas, Washington, Illinois, Georgia, and Alabama - providing a broad and rich variety of perspectives, opinions, and experiences in the field. Each chapter is specific to an important line of research or concept being explored in higher-education kinesiology and sport pedagogy. Readers will find that most chapters do not overlap in particular concept, but rather they all generally apply to the advancement of leadership, mentorship, teaching and conducting research in kinesiology and sport pedagogy - making the book a broad overview of current topics and the status of modern kinesiology departments in higher education"--

This is a brand new edition of a successful book which was one of the first to encourage movement therapists and bodyworkers to look at the postural causes of movement problems, rather than focusing treatment just on the physical symptoms. The book explains how to measure and assess posture and provides tools for doing so. The author introduces her unique perspective on body mechanics - Aston-Mechanics® - a departure from the standard model of body posture, and provides many opportunities to practice observation and analytical skills based on this paradigm.Key featuresThe author is widely recognized as a pioneer in the art and science of kinetics for her discovery of the Aston® Paradigm and consequent development of the many forms of movement, bodywork, fitness and ergonomics of Aston® Kinetics.She created and developedAston® Kineticsas an educational system of movement and bodywork. Rather than enforcing physical symmetry,Aston® Kineticsseeks to recognize the asymmetries that are natural to a person's body and to achieve the best movement possible.Her acute ability to 'see' the body in stillness and motion and to train others to see, move and exercise, established her discipline of bodywork and movement training that is known asAston® Kinetics.The book is highly illustrated with over 300 photographs and 150 line drawings. All the illustrations are new for this edition.

Extrait : ""Tout est mouvement dans la nature. Que nos yeux se dirigent sur la terre ou s'élèvent vers le ciel, ils ne voient que mouvement et progrès. Ici, des transformations géologiques, des îles qui s'abîment et des volcans qui jaillissent, une mer immense montant soir et matin ; des graines qui germent et des forêts qui s'élèvent ; et, pour régner sur ce monde, des animaux qui s'y agitent sans cesse ; tout emporté dans l'espace d'un mouvement régulier...""
