William C. Whiting is a professor and director of the biomechanics laboratory in the department of kinesiology at California State University at Northridge (CSUN), and an adjunct professor in the department of physiological science at UCLA.

In the first book of its kind, noted biomechanists William Whiting and Ronald Zernicke explore the mechanical bases of musculoskeletal injury to better understand causal mechanisms, the effect of injury on musculoskeletal tissues, and how our current knowledge of biomechanics can contribute to injury prevention.
