Kinesiology
The Skeletal System and Muscle Function
Description
Key Features
- Complete atlas of bones, bony landmarks, and joints includes hundreds of full-color illustrations, providing comprehensive coverage of bones not found in other kinesiology books.
- Clear, straightforward explanations of kinesiology concepts cover muscle contraction(s), coordination of muscles with movement, core stabilization, posture, exercise, reflexes, and how the nervous system controls and directs the muscular system.
- Coverage of strengthening exercises and stretching emphasizes the purposes and benefits of stretching and how to perform various stretching techniques.
- Information on posture and the gait cycle includes illustrations of all of the muscles of the human body organized by function.
- Clinical applications challenge students to apply kinesiology concepts to clinical practice.
- Light-bulb and Spotlight boxes discuss applications of the content, including pathologic conditions and clinical scenarios.
- Learning objectives at the start of each chapter include a chapter outline, overview, key terms and pronunciations, and word origins.
