I. Human Movement
1. What is human movement studies and why is an important?
Human movement studies inquire about how and why people move, as well as the factors that limit and enhance the capacity to move. Human movement plays a role in social and cultural implications. Movement is one of the fundamental properties of life. It is not surprising that movement studies greatly influence the understanding of human biology. This is important since understanding movement allows for the understanding of fundamental daily activities, as well as both performance and health related effects caused by said activities or lack of activities. Additionally, movement studies aid in the ability to reduce the probability of injuries and speed recovery if an …show more content…
An example of one profession based on human movement is athletic training. Athletic trainers must know physiology and biomechanics to properly apply first aid, preventive tapings, and corrections for injuries. Thus, knowledge from multiple different sub disciplines must be combined to allow application of services. Another example of a profession based on human movement studies is strength and conditioning coaches. Strength and conditioning coaches must have knowledge of physiology, biomechanics, and psychology to effective plan and interact with clients to improve health and wellbeing and/or performance. Both of these jobs require the use and application of knowledge developed by other sub disciplines of human movement studies and other fields of …show more content…
Anatomical basis for human
1. Describe the contributions of two key figures and functional anatomy.
Herophilus from Alexandria I (335 BC-280 BC) has been dubbed by some historians as the father of anatomy. This title was given to him due to being the first to dissect both humans and animals for anatomical instruction. Anatomical instruction was primarily taught to physiologists and surgeons during the time of Herophilus. Herophilus was one of the predominant anatomist before 129 AD. Note that Roman rule forbade human dissections from approximately 250 BC to 129 AD.
Galen was a famous roman anatomist from 129-200 AD. Galen was one of the first scientists to begin human dissections following its ban by the Roman government. Galen wrote prominently on human and animal dissections, with much of his work having illustrations. One of Galen’s other contributions include demonstrating that arteries carried blood. Also, many of terms Galen created and used in relation to bones, joints, and muscles are still part of the modern nomenclature of anatomy.
