Course Overview

Course Description

The course "Anatomy of the Movement Apparatus" (BEV1014) covers anatomy at both macro and micro levels, focusing on the skeleton, joints, and muscles. The approach is motion device support and motion function, with an introduction to anthropometry. The exercises and group work contain practical activities, demonstrations, and exercises in anatomy focusing on movement analysis.
