Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology
The Mechanism of Muscular Movement (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology: The Mechanism of Muscular Movement Kinesiology is the science of bodily movement. It includes a study of the principal types of muscular exercise, with inquiry as to how they are performed, how they react on the body, and their relation to the problems of bodily development, bodily efficiency and the prevention and cure of certain defects and deformities. To make such a study it is necessary to analyze complex movements into their simplest elements, note carefully what bones, joints, and muscles are involved, what part each muscle has in the work, and under what mechanical conditions its work is done. There are two main reasons for our interest in the subject.
