    Description
    Fundamental concepts concerning the interaction of biological and mechanical aspects of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular structures. This course combines anatomy and kinesiology by addressing 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. Emphasis on the importance of the sub-disciplines such as; motor learning, motor development, biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition, and sports psychology in Kinesiology will be discussed along with career opportunities in the areas of teaching, coaching, allied health, and fitness professions.
