Rationale
This course on functional anatomy builds on relevant knowledge developed through the study of human anatomy in the course BIO1203 Human Anatomy and Physiology & BIO1206 Human Anatomy & Physiology 2. Students completing this course will review and further develop their understanding of the functional significance of the anatomical structures of the human body and then relate this to the exercise context. To ensure that they have a solid discipline foundation and the ability to integrate knowledge from other sport and exercise discipline areas a general outline will be provided of the effects of exercise on the anatomical structures of the various human body systems. Because of its particular relevance to sport and exercise a thorough outline of the neuro-musculoskeletal system, as it relates to physical activity across the lifespan and with special populations (including those with disabilities), will be presented. A range of sport and movement activities will be reviewed by students because this knowledge is particularly important to professionals in health, fitness and sports areas when they are involved in assessing movement and designing exercise programs for individuals and groups.
Synopsis
This course outlines foundation principles of kinesiology and provides a review of all human physiological systems relevant to exercise. The course particularly develops knowledge necessary to identify the structural and functional requirements of the neuro-musculoskeletal system in relation to human motion during a variety of physical activities. A thorough investigation of a range of issues related to exercise and the use of the musculoskeletal system across the lifespan and with various populations will be undertaken. Observation and analysis of various practical activities will be undertaken to increase knowledge and skills with regards to movement activities and reporting on relevant aspects relevant to exercise prescription. Relevant research methods and current research information on functional anatomy will be outlined.
This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students at the Ipswich Campus and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Identify and explain anatomical structures and the foundational principles of kinesiology that relate to human physiological systems.
- Outline the structure and function of the musculo-skeletal system in relation to human movement (especially as it relates to muscle and joint movement).
- Examine structural differences between individuals and population groups and evaluate the benefits of functional anatomy as it relates to exercise across the lifespan and within special populations (such as those with disabilities).
- Perform kinesiological analyses during exercise to a variety of populations using advanced written, oral and digital literacies.
- Investigate and evaluate results of exercise analysis and present recommendations relevant to exercise prescription.
- Integrate knowledge of functional anatomy with other exercise science sub-disciplines, and assess this knowledge and latest research information in health, exercise, sports and workplace contexts.

Important assessment information
-
Attendance requirements:
External students must attend the mandatory residential school and on-campus students must attend the mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes.
It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. Students enrolled in this course via on campus delivery are required to attend a minimum of 80% of practical sessions throughout the semester. External students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of residential school sessions during the designated residential school period. -
Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
Due to COVID19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: To satisfactorily complete the assignments and practical assessment items a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks for each item. To satisfactorily complete residential school and laboratory attendance, a student must attend a minimum of 80% of practical classes throughout the semester.
