This book would be best for a student in an introductory biomechanics class who has interest in its application to sport. An addition audience may be those interested in the topic, but want a text that is lighter on the math, or at least balances the tendency to recite derivations of formulae ad nauseum with concise interpretations of data. This is often what keeps people interested in the topic away. A particularly interesting part of the book is the author's explanation of how to use excel to model data, allowing the reader some "lab" time if they so desire. The book also covers the topics of aero- and hydrodynamics, something that many biomechanics texts either do not do or do poorly. I highly recommend this book to beginner and intermediate students of biomechanics, especially those interested in its application to sports rehabilitation or performance.
