A study of location and action of major muscles. Emphasis is on learning to describe the organic skeletal and neuromuscular structure of the human body; identifying how these systems adapt to skillful movement, physical activity and fitness and anaylizing their contributions to motor performance using and anaylzing data gathered from various sources. Students will learn specific anatomical structures related to the musculoskeletal system as well as the origin, insertion action and inervation of the muscles of the body. Students learn to properly grade and test the major muscles manually and anaylze the range of motion. They will also learn about the biomechanics of body motion, planes of movement and about the different levers associated with body movement.
