Other requisites

This course focuses on advanced anatomy and physiology and addresses the detailed and increment detail of the relationships that exists between anatomy, functional anatomy and physiology. 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. 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 addresses advanced anatomy and functional anatomy principles and provides a review of all human physiological systems relevant to exercise. The course 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 and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  1. Investigate anatomical structures and physiology systems and the relationship to the foundational principles of kinesiology in a sport and exercise context.
  2. Critically analyse the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system in relation to human movement (especially as it relates to muscle and joint movement).
  3. Examine and analyse structural differences between individuals and population groups and postulate on the benefits of functional anatomy as it relates to exercise across the lifespan and within special populations (such as those with disabilities).
  4. Perform kinesiological analyses during exercise to a variety of populations using advanced written, oral and digital literacies.
  5. Integrate knowledge of functional anatomy with other exercise science sub-disciplines, and apply this knowledge and latest research information in health, exercise, sports and workplace contexts.

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.

    b. calculators which cannot hold textual information
    c. unmarked non electronic English language dictionary (but not technical dictionary).

  7. Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: The details regarding deferred/supplementary examinations will be communicated at a later date.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    Any Deferred or Supplementary examinations for this course will be held during the next examination period.

  8. 精东传媒app Student Policies:
    Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene 精东传媒app policies and practices. These policies can be found at .

Assessment notes

  1. Students must familiarise themselves with the USQ Assessment Procedures (.

  2. If electronic submission is specified for a course assessment, students will be notified of this on the Course 精东传媒app Desk. The due date for an electronically submitted assessment is the date by which a student must electronically submit the assignment irrespective of holidays. The assignment files must be submitted by 11.55pm on the due date using USQ time (as displayed on the clock on the course home page; that is, Australian Eastern Standard Time).

  3. If hardcopy submission is specified for a course assessment students will be notified of this on the Course 精东传媒app Desk. The due date for a hardcopy assignment is the date by which a student must submit at USQ or despatch the assignment to USQ irrespective of holidays.

  4. USQ will NOT accept submission of assignments by facsimile or email unless expressly requested by the course examiner.

  5. Referencing in Assignments must comply with the APA referencing system. This system should be used by students to format details of the information sources they have cited in their work. The APA style to be used is defined by the USQ library鈥檚 referencing guide. These policies can be found at

  6. As part of the mandatory residential school, students may be expected to undertake a combination of lectures, tutorials, laboratories, practical classes and assessment as advised by the course examiner.

Evaluation and benchmarking

In meeting the 精东传媒app鈥檚 aims to establish quality learning and teaching for all programs, this course monitors and ensures quality assurance and improvements in at least two ways. This course:

1. Conforms to the USQ Policy on Evaluation of Teaching, Courses and Programs to ensure ongoing monitoring and systematic improvement.

2. Forms part of the MSCN Sport and Exercise program and is benchmarked against the

  1. internal USQ accreditation/reaccreditation processes which include (i) stringent standards in the independent accreditation of its academic programs, (ii) close integration between business and academic planning, and (iii) regular and rigorous review.

Other requirements

  1. Computer, e-mail and Internet access:
    Students are required to have access to a personal computer, e-mail capabilities and Internet access to UConnect. Current details of computer requirements can be found at

  2. Students can expect that questions in assessment items in this course may draw upon knowledge and skills that they can reasonably be expected to have acquired before enrolling in this course. This includes knowledge contained in pre-requisite courses and appropriate communication, information literacy, analytical, critical thinking, problem solving or numeracy skills. Students who do not possess such knowledge and skills should not expect the same grades as those students who do possess them.

  3. Students undertaking this course in external mode will be required to attend a residential school to completed practical aspects related to the course. Students will be notified of the dates and residential schools will be conducted at the Ipswich campuses. This will involve 24 hours of necessary practical work over a two and a half day time period to successfully complete the course.
