Course Objectives

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.

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 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 workout regimen for their older clientele that will assist in increasing flexibility, strength and balance.

Joe, You are so great, I love the lectures especially with Rob , with my age in the late forties, I am sure I can get some elders to train with me now I understand the theory of proper application, Mike Sable is great, I cannot believe I was training my clients wrong all these years and nobody noticed. Now when I am at the gym, I look at everybody and I wonder where they got certified from, so sad. But that is OK for me because all their clients will end up my clients soon. I promise. You and your team are the best.

Jackeline P. / PROPTA Academy Student

hi joe thank you for the great class. i learned alot and learned there is so much more to know!!! that is good. i am also glad you have generously offered to let us come back and learn more. that is the best thing ever. i was thinking about how the class could be used so we would learn more. what works for me is repetition. hearing mike say the same thing over and over beats it into my head. also i think it was very useful to have the oral quiz session yesterday. a little nerve wracking but instructional. maybe if you gave the class more take home assignments, such as, be able to describe the digestive process and include the x, y and z.i think talking about it is much harder to do but ensures that you really could explain the importance to a client. this was the best experience ever, I am glad I chose to get certified by PROPTA. I will never regret it and I will always tell everyone, I promise Kristin, LeFevre

Kristin LeFevre

Thanks Joe! It was very helpful talking with you the other day. The woman I was telling you about is seriously thinking twice about the gastric bypass surgery. I am really grateful that I have found PROPTA. I thank you, Mike and everyone that has put time in to make this academy a class act. I look forward to Saturday, as I know that I will be learning so much more. Thanks again! Martha Garcia- Public Health Administration
