Anatomy of Exercise and Movement for the Study of Dance, Pilates, Sports, and Yoga (Paperback)

Awareness of movement potential," says author Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones, "is key to a healthy body and injury prevention." "The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement "shows readers how to gain that awareness by understanding the biomechanics of movement. In ten chapters, color-coded for easy reference, the author covers all of the major muscle and joint areas, including the spine; core region; shoulder; elbow; wrist and hand; and hip, knee, and ankle/foot joints. Most importantly, each chapter contains strengthening and stretching exercises for all of the above areas.
Developed as a handbook, "The Anatomy of Exercise & Movement" is an accessible resource for anyone who would like to know more about his or her body, how it moves, and what can be done to improve that movement. The more than 275 high-quality, four-color anatomical drawings and the broad scope of muscle and joint groups make this one of the most important guides to the moving body on the market. A helpful "Myths" page at the end of each chapter debunks many of the misunderstandings and rumors about fitness that have circulated over the years.
