What you will learn

The lecture and text book course material examines the anatomy of muscle which pumps blood throughout the body, and discusses the distinction between arteries, veins, and the location of the heart. The relation between muscle function, blood flow, circulation, the nervous system and skeletal system and the direct correlation to fitness and exercise provides students with the base knowledge of proper bio-mechanics.

Biomechanics is defined as the application of mechanical principles in the study of movement for all living organisms. In other words, biomechanics is the science that is concerned with analyzing how and why bodies move in the way that they do.

With over 600 muscles in the human body, understanding how they attach, work in synergy with other body parts is a crucial part of your education.

Muscles can only contract and pull. Therefore, joints have to have two or more muscles working opposite each other. As the first muscle contracts, so the second muscle relaxes. As the second muscle contracts, so the first muscle relaxes. This is known as antagonistic muscle action.

For this to occur, one end of the muscle must be fixed, this is known as the origin. When the muscle contracts the other end of the muscle then moves towards the origin.

The end that moves is known as the insertion.

The origins of both the triceps and the biceps are at the top of the humerus near the shoulder joint. This is the muscle insertion point.  As the bicep contracts, the lower arm (radius and ulna) moves up towards the shoulder. The triceps relax to allow this movement to happen. It is important to understand how all muscles work together, how they attach to bone, tendons, and ligaments to ensure coaches are preparing safe workout routines for their students.

The muscular system is comprised of the total of muscles throughout the body that move the skeleton, maintain posture through steady contraction, and generate heat through cell metabolism. Humans have three types of muscle.

The origins of both the triceps and the biceps are at the top of the humerus near the shoulder joint. This is the muscle insertion point.  As the bicep contracts, the lower arm (radius and ulna) moves up towards the shoulder. The triceps relax to allow this movement to happen. It is important to understand how all muscles work together, how they attach to bone, tendons, and ligaments to ensure coaches are preparing safe workout routines for their students.

The skeletal system is the system of bones, associated cartilages, and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the framework of the human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of the human skeletal system.

The nervous system is made up of all the nerve cells in your body. It is through the nervous system that we communicate with the outside world and, at the same time, many mechanisms inside our body are controlled. The nervous system takes in information through our senses, processes the information and triggers reactions, such as making your muscles move or causing you to feel pain.

The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body.

As people age, loss of muscle can occur. Known as Sarcopenia, lack of physical activity is not the only contributing factor. Decreased hormones, and decreased Protein synthesis can all occur. PROPTA students will be equipped to prepare a work out regimen for their older clientele that will assist in increasing flexibility, strength and balance.
