Anatomy for Exercise
Publisher: Primal Pictures Ltd
Anatomy for Exercise is a dynamic new resource for fitness professionals in training and practice. An easy to use visual resource that makes complex anatomy and functional anatomy easier to learn, remember and understand. The 3D anatomy section includes detailed and labelled 3D models and sequences covering anatomical language, bones, joints and joint action, muscles, respiratory and cardiovascular systems including labelled cardiac cycles. 3D views can be rotated to view all structures, layers of anatomy can be added or removed using interactive functions. Any visible structure can be identified by pop-up labelling - a great way to learn and revise anatomy. Clicking on a structure will also bring up brief descriptive text for that structure. Anatomical planes are explained visually, and animation issued to show joint actions and muscle function during common movements such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and internal/external rotation. Plus, view labelled 3D models of the heart and 3D sequences of the cardiac cycle for better understanding of the anatomy and processes. Benefits: learn, understand and remember relevant anatomy more quickly and easily using clear, accurate and labelled 3D images and sequences. Viewing 3D dynamic sequences of join actions and muscle movements will aid understanding, recall and application to exercise movement. Export images from the software to produce beautifully illustrated and professional client information sheets. Use the software to aid explanations and quickly educate your clients.

Genetics and Molecular Biology of Muscle Adaptation
Publisher: Elsevier Science
The Genetics and Molecular Biology of Muscle Adaptation - Advances in Sport and Exercise Science book starts with the origin of the life and ends with the mechanisms that make muscles adapt to different forms of training. In between it considers how evidence has been obtained about the extent of genetic influence on human capacities; how muscles and their fibres are studied for general properties and individual differences and how molecular biological techniques have been combined with physiological ones to produce the new discipline of molecular exercise physiology. This is the first book on such topics written specifically for modules in exercise and sport science at final year Hons BSc and taught MSc levels. Published July 2006, 256 pages with approximately 150 illustrations.
