IV. Course Prerequisites: KINE
271, BIOL 261-262, MATH 112 or permission of instructor. Antecedents: None
V. Course Description:
Studies the relationship of the
muscular and skeletal systems and their interaction to produce human movement
patterns, planes of motion, joint movements, and the muscles that produce the
movements. Also included are the
mechanical principles involved in human movement and the importance these
principles of physics have in the field of athletics and skill acquisition.
VI. Relationship of this course to Content Area
and Knowledge and Skills:
Upon completion of this course the student should have the knowledge and skills to understand the structure and function of the muscular and skeletal systems, planes of motion and the interaction of the systems to produce movement (kinesiology).
Further, the student should also have an understanding of the mechanical principles involved in human movement and the importance these principles of physics have in the field of athletics and skill acquisition.
VII. Texts:
Basic Biomechanics. Susan J. Hall. Mosby - Year Book. 4th Ed.
Manual of Structural Kinesiology. Clem W. Thompson & R.T. Floyd. McGraw Hill, 15thed.
VIII. Course
Goals & Outcomes
The physical education student will be able to understand and apply the proper biomechanical and physiological principles related to exercise, identify critical elements for basic motor skills and develop appropriate sequences, describe with competence basic motor skills, and physical activities.
IX. Course Objectives:
1.
Identify the basis
for structural Kinesiology.
2.
List and define
directional terms and cardinal planes used to describe the body and the relationship
of its parts.
3.
Identify on a human
subject the most important and prominent bone features of each major bone of
the body (these are the ones that can be found by sight or by palpation).
4.
Label muscles at all
joints of the human body.
5.
Demonstrate on a
human subject all the movements possible at each joint and identify the muscles
causing that movement.
6.
Defines the
principles and concepts of body movement including functional classification of
joints, joint biomechanics, normal ranges of joint motion, joint action
terminology, muscular structures responsible for joint actions(prime movers,
synergists), skeletal muscle contraction, and kinesthesia/proprioception.
7.
Palpate and identify
on a human subject all the muscles at each joint of the body.
8.
Demonstrate the
ability to group individual muscles into units that produce certain joint
movements.
9.
Analyze simple
exercises in terms of the joint movement and the muscle exercised.
10.
Describe and
calculate the following: Acceleration,
velocity, force, mass, work, impulse, power, potential energy, kinetic energy,
torque, moment of inertia, trajectories, angles of release, momentum, pressure,
transfer of momentum, impact parameters, lift, drag, buoyancy, and
equilibrium and relate these parameters to game situations including athletics,
physical education activity classes and recreational activities; the emphasis should be on improving
performance and ability levels.)
COMPETENCIES: The following will be covered in part where
applicable to course objectives.
