Understanding Muscles and Movement

Description

Understanding Muscles and Movement explains in easy-to-understand terms how the whole body moves together as an integrated system of muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, and fascia; information essential for understanding the causes of problematic and limiting musculoskeletal imbalances. This course also explains the unique approach of The BioMechanics Method^® in regard to understanding how gravity and ground reaction forces change the way the body moves - knowledge that is imperative for designing successful corrective exercise strategies.

Understanding Muscles and Movement contains:

• Understanding Muscles and Movement digital text material
• Understanding Muscles and Movement videos
• Understanding Muscles and Movement online tests

Learning Objectives

In this course you will learn:

• In-depth anatomy information about muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments and fascia, including specific muscle origins, insertions and functions
• The difference between traditional and functional anatomy, and how gravity and ground reaction forces change the way a body moves
• The major muscle groups that will dictate the exercise strategies used to improve musculoskeletal health and alleviate associated dysfunction
• How to use anatomy and assessment findings to design and integrate corrective exercise programming into clients' training programs
