ANAT10130 Anatomy for Sports Science I

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module will provide the student with a comprehensive knowledge of normal and variant anatomy of upper and lower limbs relevant to the practice of Health and Performance Science. Bones, joints and muscles of the limbs will be covered in detail and related to relevant sports injuries. Clinically relevant neurovascular anatomy will also be described in depth. Important surface anatomy will be introduced. This is a core module in the BSc degree of Health and Performance Science.

Learning Outcomes:

Following successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Explain the classification and structure of bones and joints.
2. Describe regional anatomy of the upper and lower limbs.
3. Identify and label diagrams and images of anatomical structure, osteological specimens, and sectional anatomy.
4. Identify surface anatomical features on the human model.
5. Apply anatomical knowledge to clinical scenarios relevant to sports medicine.
