Anatomy for Exercise

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 labeled 3D models and sequences covering anatomical language, bones, joints and joint action, muscles, respiratory and cardiovascular systems including labeled 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 labeling – 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 is used to show joint actions and muscle function during common movements such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and internal/external rotation.  Plus, view labeled 3D models of the heart and 3D sequences of the cardiac cycle for better understanding of the anatomy and processes.

• Learn, understand and remember relevant anatomy more quickly and easily using clear, accurate and labeled 3D images and sequences.
• Viewing 3D dynamic sequences of joint 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
