This course on functional anatomy builds on relevant knowledge developed through the study of human anatomy in the course BIO1203 Human Anatomy and Physiology and 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. Students will be able to apply their knowledge of the neuro-musculoskeletal system and its relevance to function and movement. A range of exercise 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.

This course outlines the neuro-musculoskeletal system and its relevance to function and movement. 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. 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 practical classes for on-campus students. To pass this course, students must attend 80% of the residential school or practical classes. Student non-compliance with the attendance requirement will mean the student cannot pass the course.

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

1. Explain individual joint complexes and their independent and composite functions in posture and movement analysis in exercise. Explain the relationship of structure (including micro and macro) with function, force and movement.
2. Identify the components of the neuro-musculoskeletal system of the body, and describe the role of the bony segments, joint-related connective tissue structures, muscles and forces applied to these structures. Describe the impact of body proportions on body composition and function.
3. Describe the adaptations that can occur within the neuro-musculoskeletal system as a result of deconditioning, ageing and injury, and the role of physical activity and exercise for preventing functional decline.
4. Analyse and evaluate results from static and dynamic assessments and provide recommendations for exercise prescription.
5. Analyse movement identifying which muscles are active in producing and controlling a movement of a joint.
6. Scientific approaches to ascertaining the aetiology of injury and acute, chronic and complex conditions as they relate to movement.
