Kinesiology The Skeletal System and Muscle Function

Joseph E. Muscolino

Mosby Elsevier

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed to introduce the student to basic movement concepts as applied to various sports activities. Laws of motion, principles of force, equilibrium concepts, and laws governing projectiles will be introduced and applied. The student will develop the ability to analyze skill movements in specific sport activities. The anatomy and function of the musculoskeletal system and the concept of levers will be reviewed.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

to introduce the student to the scientific aspects of the study of human movement
to provide an overview of physical education as a science with an emphasis in anatomic kinesiology and biomechanics
to explore the relationship between structure and function of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal system
to facilitate development of the student with respect to the conceptual framework of the teachers college to produce candidates who are creative planners, effective practitioners, and critical thinkers

STUDENT OUTCOMES:

Students will understand the basic concepts of biomechanical kinesiology. (KSBE Standard #1)

The division chair should be advised of any action taken by the faculty member regarding academic dishonesty. The faculty member may consent to refer the case to other academic personnel for further action. Divisions, schools, and colleges may have provisions for more severe penalties than are set forth above. EmporiaStateUniversity may impose penalties for academic dishonesty up to and including expulsion from the university. The student has the right to appeal the charge of academic dishonesty in accordance with the university's Academic Appeals policy and procedure as set forth in section 9A-04 of the Faculty Handbook.
