Introduction to human anatomy and movement -- Osteology and the skeletal system -- Joint motion and the articular system -- Myology and the muscular system -- Muscles of movement -- Mechanics of movement -- Muscular control of movement and movement assessment -- Fundamentals of posture, balance, and walking -- Fundamentals of running, jumping, throwing, kicking, and lifting -- Analysis of exercise and sport movements -- Future directions of human movement studies.
Summary: This book brings to life the wonders of human movement and applied anatomy. The book is for students of human performance who have completed an introductory human anatomy course and need a strong text in functional anatomy. The entertaining and easy-to-understand text considers fundamental movements—including posture, walking, running, jumping, throwing, kicking, and lifting—together with selected exercise and sport movements. The emphasis of Dynatomy is on dynamic muscular motions rather than structural anatomy. Students benefit from a discussion of simple and complex human movements combined with an analysis of the muscles in motion. The text also introduces the muscle control formula and explains how students can use it to identify the ways in which muscles contract during various examples of human movement.
