PREREQUISITES

Grade of "C" or better in BIO 212, and ENS 210

COURSE PURPOSE

This course is designed to cover arthrology, osteology, syndesmology and myology, with special emphasis on movement analysis. In addition, muscle groups and their functional relationships will be presented with application to simple mechanical principles. Course emphasis will be placed on anatomical and mechanical analysis of motion as it pertains to human movement in sports and exercise.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

  1. Understand the basic anatomy and physiology of the muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems as applied to the study of movement.
  2. Be able to identify movements produced in relation to muscle function.
  3. Understand muscle function in relation to position of attachment.
  4. Associate the principles of physical science with muscle function.
  5. Be knowledgeable in the types of tests designed to measure and analyze human movement.
  6. Be able to recognize appropriate motor skills and differentiate them from inappropriate skills.
  7. Apply the knowledge of kinesiology to improving performance.
  8. Understand the principles related to the mechanics of injury.

 

COURSE POLICIES

  1. Class Etiquette: Talking while the instructor is teaching is considered rude and discourteous both to your fellow classnate and instructor. Any student deemed to be rude or discourteous by the instructor will br asked to leave.
  2. Participation
    1. Attendance and discussion-Each student will be expected to attend all casses and actively participate in class discussions.
    2. Absence and Tardiness-One absence is allowedwithout penalty to your grade. Absences greater than one will affect your grade by losing two points from your final per missed class.
    3. Make-Up Policy-Exams: Missed exam make up is at the of the determinationof the instructor. Following instructor and student discussion.
