Catalog Description:
Untitled document
Students learn applied Kinesiology and anatomy by examining the anatomical structure and function of the musculoskeletal system as it relates to human movement and exercise. Muscular analysis and practical application, including strengthening and flexibility exercises for each muscle will be emphasized. Students will also study physiological and biomechanical principles. Course content is part of the national American Council on Exercise (ACE) certification program. This course along with Kines 81 and 83 will prepare students to take the ACE Personal Trainer and/or Group Fitness Certification exam.

COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Students will identify and analyze exercises or movements related to muscle groups using anatomical teminology and the principles of biomechanics and neuromuscular properties.
2. Students will identify muscular imbalances and movement patterns through functional movement, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance and passive asseessment tests.
 

Objectives: Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of correct anatomical terminology used to describe body part locations, position, and direction.
2. Describe the various types of bones, muscles, and joints in the human body and their location, movements, and characteristics.
3. Explain basic neuromuscular concepts and muscle properties in relation to how muscles function in joint movement and work together in affecting motion.
4. Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of biomechanics.  
5. Locate the major muscles of the human body, including origin, insertion, and action and identify their movements associated with all joints in the body.
6. Analyze exercises of the upper extremity, trunk, and lower extremity to determine the joint movements, types of contractions, and specific muscles involved in those movements.
7. Perform movement, flexibility, and functional training assessments and identify common postural deviations.
