Fitness Professionals' Guide to Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Human Movement

Description

This book is a revolution in the field of human movement. Comprehensive and meticulous, this groundbreaking text is a must for any fitness professional. For each muscle in the body, the book includes a detailed illustration that uses color to highlight the muscle. Along with the illustrations, you’ll find a brief description of each muscle as well as information on its joint crossings, associated body actions, blood supply, controlling nerves, and insertion and origin. The accompanying CD-ROM is one-of-a-kind. Developed specifically as a companion to this text, the intuitive and easy-to-use PC CD-ROM applies each of the muscles and body actions described in the book to nearly 300 specific exercises and over 100 movement-related activities. Each exercise is shown in full-motion video and demonstrated in repeatable, correct form, with complete descriptions, step-by-step instructions, and a list of the body actions used to perform each exercise. The CD also features five 4- to 7-minute video lectures by Dr. Golding on muscle basics, anatomy, soreness, and strength.
