Description
This module teaches human anatomy relevant to the field of Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM), using a number of sophisticated interactive online 3D video atlas鈥檚, supported by lectures, tutorials and quizzes, to establish the anatomical knowledge that will underpin subsequent modules relating to exercise performance and sports injuries. Emphasis will be placed on functional anatomy, and how this can infer biomechanical properties that enable sport and exercise performance, or sometimes become injured through sport, exercise or work. Students will learn about modalities of imaging the anatomical systems relevant to sport and exercise performance, such as the musculoskeletal system and cardio-respiratory system. Radiological concepts will include the basic fundamental principles of various imaging modalities, and how to seek and describe normal and abnormal tissues on these modalities. Students will navigate and explore sophisticated medical imaging portals and apply their learning. Case scenarios will illustrate the relationship between anatomy and function, with disease or injury. Students will also have the opportunity to visit medical facilities where imaging takes place, and learn through practical sessions with some of the equipment at the Institute of Sport Exercise and Health
