Kinesiology


Overview Discover how muscles function as movers, antagonists, and stabilizers in the human body and fully understand concentric, eccentric, and isometric muscle contractions. This course in kinesiology explores the bones, landmarks, and joints of the body, and presents a thorough explanation of muscle function. It provides clinical applications related to key kinesiology concepts and clearly explains terminology needed for working in any rehabilitative practice field. This course includes a DVD with 60 minutes of video demonstrating all major joint actions of the human body. After completing this course, you should be able to: Comprehend the fundamentals of structure and motion Identify the various joints in the body and their movement Identify the function and roles of the muscles in the body Comprehend the motion of muscles in the body Comprehend the importance of good posture and exercise Languages English Course Access Time Students are given 6 months to complete the program. Extensions are available if needed, fees may apply. Instructor This class supported by an Educational Mentor. Our educational mentors have worked or are working in the subject they mentor. Educational Mentors reviews student work, student progress, and interacts with students as needed.
