The Subdiscipline of Functional Human Anatomy Subdiscipline of kinesiology concerned with understanding the contributions of the muscular and skeletal systems to human movement the acute and chronic effects of activity on the musculoskeletal system Focus is at the tissue, organ, organ system, and organism level

Also draws from biomechanics

Mechanics Branch of physics that is concerned with the motion and deformation of particles and mechanical systems that are acted on by mechanical disturbances called forces

Biomechanics The science that examines forces acting upon and within a biological structure and effects produced by such forces The science that applies the principles of mechanics to the conception, design, development, and analysis of equipment and systems in biology

Branches of Mechanics Mechanics Rigid body mechanics Deformable body mechanics Fluid mechanics Relativistic mechanics Quantum mechanics

Physical Quantities Base quantity – defined in terms of a standard Derived quantity – defined in terms of one or more base quantities Units for quantities determined by system used SI system (Systeme International – MKS system) British system CGS system

So… How does this course fit into the study of kinesiology?

You will… be able to answer, in part, the following questions: What causes movement? How can a movement be changed to improve performance and/or prevent injury? learn the language of kinesiology and gain basic knowledge about movement causes and outcomes. develop observation, analytical, and evaluative skills necessary for analyzing human movement.

Course Objectives 1.Explain the roles that the subdisciplines of functional anatomy and biomechanics play in the study of human movement. 2.Demonstrate knowledge of how skeletal and muscular architecture and function interact to create forces and torques that contribute to injury and human movement performance.

Course Objectives 3.Demonstrate knowledge of how the human body and the external environment interact to create the forces and torques necessary that contribute to human performance and musculoskeletal injury. 4.Identify structural and mechanical factors that limit successful performance in human movement activities.

Course Objectives 5.Perform a systematic qualitative anatomical analysis of human movement activities or skills in sport, dance, exercise, rehabilitation, work, and daily living.
