Description:                  This course is designed to provide an introductory study of the structure,

                                    function and application of the physiological systems, particularly the

                                    musculoskeletal system used to evaluate or determine physical performance.

 

Objectives:                   To apply basic anatomical function to exercise and sport science related

                                    activities and situations.

1. Section Organization

1 - Bone anatomy

2 - Joint Action

3 - Muscle anatomy

4 - Muscle actions

5 - Applied information

6 – Quiz

 

2. Quizzes. There will be a quiz on the anatomy and movement of each joint. There will be eight total quizzes each worth 20 points each. Make-up quizzes will not be given unless an official university excuse is provided.

 

3. Anatomy Project. Each student is to select one of the joints covered in class and submit a project that provides additional information not covered in class such as strength training, injuries, in depth anatomy, etc. Projects may be in written, model, video, or other forms. Projects will be graded on content over creativity. When possible, projects should be turned in via email. Projects are due on or before Wednesday, November 15th.

 

4. Final Exam. The final will be partially comprehensive and given on Wednesday, Dec. 13th, at 2:45 pm.

                          No early final exams will be given.

           

5. Suggestions

·          Obtain an additional basic anatomy, physiology, or kinesiology text (see library).

·          One to two hours of personal study time are recommended for each hour of class time. Think about it.

·          Form study groups.

·          Ask questions and be actively involved during class time. The pace of the class is influenced by participation.

·          Additional help can be obtained from the instructor during office hours.

·          Use logical thinking when learning the actions of the muscles.
