Understanding Muscles and Movement

Description

Understanding Muscles and Movement is targeted toward Fitness Professionals (encompassing Gym Instructors and Personal Trainers) who want to learn how the whole body moves together as an integrated system of muscles, bones, fascia, tendons and ligaments. 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 Understanding Muscles and Movement participants will:

• 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

Upon successful completion, course participants will:

• Know the major muscle groups that will dictate the exercise strategies used to improve movement potential and overall musculoskeletal health
• Understand how gravity and ground reaction forces change the way a body moves when the body is in motion
• Understand how to use anatomical information to design and integrate corrective exercise programming into client’s training programs for improved movement and musculoskeletal health.
