Qualification Certificate
This course is designed for students who need a deeper understanding of human muscle physiology and its affect on our movement and health. You will learn the essentials of human movement including the operation of muscles and nerves, movements and reactions observed in the body, the nervous system, motor skills, and more. Additionally the relationships between muscular strength, endurance and flexibility are explored.
Who is this course for:
This course is great for anyone working in sports or movement fields who needs to have a more in depth knowledge of how muscles affect movement such as fitness instructions, sports coaches, yoga and pilates teachers.
Prerequisites: Prior knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
Course Aims:
- Explain how nerves cause reactions in the human body.
- Explain how the nervous system affects motor skill performance.
