Notes from Anatomy Lecture: Basic Anatomy, Planes, Skeleton, Joints, Muscles, and Practical Implications
- Overview: emphasis on big-picture concepts in human anatomy relevant to exercise, performance, and common dysfunctions rather than cadaver-level detail.
- The course alternates with assignments; this session focuses on human anatomy foundations and how they relate to physiology and training.
- Throughout, directional terms, planes of movement, skeletal system, joints, muscles, and practical implications for training are interwoven with clinical/real-world relevance.
- Key idea: anatomy underpins how we understand cardiac adaptations, blood flow, respiration, and movement mechanics in sport and daily life.
- Several concrete numbers and facts anchor the material (see below).
