KinAnatomy - 3rd edition

Why study the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system? Improperly performed stretching, strength training, or exercise routines can lead to injuries. The same is true for poor posture adopted while performing tasks, whether at work or at home. A practical understanding of functional anatomy is necessary to assess and correct proper movement patterns and to improve physical performance. This begins with the anatomy of bones, ligaments, and muscles, but is not limited to these. This book from KinAnatomie stands out from others in both its format and content. Its format is designed to be more engaging than strict or minimalist. It features numerous photos and illustrations depicting not only the components of the musculoskeletal system but also their role in the physical activities we perform in daily life. This book from KinAnatomie is primarily intended for kinesiologists (in the North American sense of the term), exercise physiologists, and specialists in sports science and sports-related professions. Students are gradually introduced to the components of joints and their functional roles through numerous examples drawn from educational settings, sports, the workplace, and everyday life. This book truly stands out from traditional descriptive anatomy textbooks by focusing on a variety of functional aspects.
