Overview

Throughout this topic, students will investigate the structure and function of the neuromusculoskeletal system, as well as the various training and environmental-related factors that can cause acute and chronic changes in human anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. Specialised topics that delve into the effects of aging, injury and immobilisation on neuromusculoskeletal … For more content click the Read More button below.

Aims

This topic aims to provide students with the skills to:

  • Understand skeletal, connective tissue, and neuromuscular anatomy
  • Define the relationship between human anatomy and kinesiology
  • Understand the neurological systems role in defining human locomotion
  • Perform movement competency assessments for exercise/sports performance and injury susceptibility
  • Discuss and identify the anthropometric characteristics that underpin exercise/sport performance and health
  • Describe the effects of age and gender on musculoskeletal structural and functional
  • Understand the relationship between movement competency and injury
