Description

Awareness of movement potential,” says creator Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones, “is key to a healthy body and injury prevention.” The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement shows readers how to gain that awareness by understanding the biomechanics of movement. In ten chapters, color-coded for simple reference, the creator covers the entire major muscle and joint areas, including the spine; core region; shoulder; elbow; wrist and hand; and hip, knee, and ankle/foot joints. Most importantly, each chapter contains strengthening and stretching exercises for the entire above areas.

Developed as a handbook, The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement is an accessible resource for anyone who want to know more about his or her body, how it moves, and what will also be done to make stronger that movement. The more than 275 high-quality, four-color anatomical drawings and the broad scope of muscle and joint groups make this one of the vital important guides to the moving body in the marketplace. A helpful “Myths” page at the end of each chapter debunks a number of the misunderstandings and rumors about fitness that have circulated through the years.
