Main description:

Applied Anatomy for Exercise Science is designed to help students develop foundational knowledge in anatomy and physiology. This textbook is not designed to be an inclusive anatomy and physiology resource, but rather a resource for students to utilise during their first year. Students can use this resource to develop an academic mindset while exploring anatomy and physiology concepts.Applied Anatomy for Exercise Science is divided into two parts: lecture content and a laboratory manual. The lecture content is organised into three sections: (1) Introduction to Applied Anatomy, (2) Musculoskeletal System, and (3) Cardiorespiratory System. Each chapter includes relevant content followed by an outline for note taking and worksheets to gauge understanding of essential concepts. The laboratory manual is divided into seven labs and includes resources for students to learn selected bony landmarks and the action, origin, and insertion of 60 muscles. The lab manual also includes worksheets and illustrations to help students gain a deeper understanding of the muscles and bones included in the textbook.
