Description
Prerequisite: BIOL 205. This course is designed to provide introductory knowledge in analyzing the function of the musculoskeletal system in the context of human movement. This course also will introduce foundational principles related to strength training. Students will gain a greater understanding of the major joints and muscle groups, their actions, insertions, and origins, and how the muscles and joints work synchronously to permit human movement through practical application. Additionally, students will acquire knowledge of basic skeletal muscle physiology, bioenergetics of strength training, and adaptions to the musculoskeletal system following a strength training regimen.
