Dynamic Human Anatomy also offers a full-color design with over 300 illustrations and photos to visually represent the concepts. Learning aids include a glossary, chapter objectives, summaries, and suggested readings. Applying the Concept sidebars offer practical examples of real-world scenarios. Numerous tables provide quick summaries of muscles and actions, joint structure and movements, exercises for specific muscle groups, and developmental reflexes. The tables are also available online as downloadable resources, along with critical thinking questions, delivered through HKPropel.
The third edition of Dynamic Human Anatomy is sensibly organized with a progressive approach. It opens with the general concepts of human anatomy and the structure and organization of the skeletal system. The second part discusses biomechanical properties essential to understanding and assessing human movement, including the muscle control formula.
The text then connects structural anatomy with biomechanics to focus on everyday movements and movement patterns. Students will examine posture and balance, gait, and other functional movements like jumping and lifting. The final section explores further applications for strength and conditioning, sport and dance, clinical scenarios, and ergonomics.
Dynamic Human Anatomy, Third Edition With HKPropel Access, explores the potential of the human body to express itself through movement, making it a highly valuable text for students who need a more detailed exposure to concepts in human movement anatomy. |

Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions features a case study that builds upon itself in each part, taking the student from the beginning of a plan of care at the initial evaluation of an injury and through the various steps and progressions of treatment. This unique approach helps the student see how interventions can be implemented, progressed upon, and used in conjunction with each other.
Split into five parts, each section of Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions walks students through a phase of patient recovery:
Part I covers the initial evaluation and creation of a plan of care.
Part II discusses the neurophysiology behind pain transmission, signal modulation, tissue injury, inflammation, and pain science.
Part III focuses on understanding limitations in range of motion and discusses various therapeutic modalities and manual interventions used to restore motion.
Part IV highlights the importance of neuromuscular control in the healing process and ways to facilitate recovery.
Part V explores the role of mechanical signaling and exercise in tissue recovery.
Students and professionals alike will develop stronger decision-making skills when determining the safest and most effective use of different treatment methods with Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions. |

To maximize treatment outcomes from manual therapy, you must understand both anatomy and the physiological response of the body to various techniques. The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage guides you through this process by combining anatomical landmarks for palpation with the function of the muscles to help you pair specific treatment techniques with the intended response. You¡¦ll get guidance on different types of manual therapies and their role in recovery from exercise as well as in treating and preventing chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
Photos throughout the book demonstrate hands-on treatments for each area of the body and are overlaid with anatomical illustrations, making it easy to pinpoint the muscles targeted by each therapy. The massage treatments are accompanied by explanations of how to perform the techniques, and descriptions of each muscle outline the origin, insertion, and action of the muscle at the joint, along with stressor considerations that are important to take into account as you work with an athlete.
Other features include advice on considerations for sports massage, such as avoiding lotions in certain scenarios, and Why Do We Care? sidebars that reiterate the practical benefits for athletes or clients. Additional information about the types and benefits of self-care treatments is also included:
Compressive massage tools, such as foam rollers
Decompression items, such as therapeutic tape
Percussive techniques that use vibration, such as a massage gun
Hydrotherapy that uses hot or cold water, such as saunas or cold plunges
The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage helps you understand the why behind many of the techniques and responses seen in manual therapy. Whether you are a seasoned clinician, a clinical instructor, an educator, or a student, there is value in reviewing your practice to ensure that you are providing the best possible therapies and techniques that match desired client outcomes. |

Dance research is an ever-growing field, with many opportunities for dancers to shed light on the sophisticated ways dance affects and changes lives. Research in Dance offers new and insightful information for dance researchers at all stages of their learning and inquiry. In addition to serving as a foundational text for new researchers, it brings forward innovative concepts and strategies intended for those dance researchers already experienced in qualitative or arts-based inquiry.
There are few resources that delve into the specific purposes, methods, and processes of research in dance. As the first of its kind, this text addresses topics often overlooked by other resources:
Arts-based research approaches
Socially engaged research
Interdisciplinary research methods
Professional paths in dance research
Grant writing for research support
Dance researchers have many avenues to consider as they embark on sharing their discoveries. More than 50 academic journals and popular magazines focused on dance are available in print and online. There are many book publishers, stage producers, festivals, academic and professional conferences, and online platforms that also support dance research. Research in Dance explores philosophical frameworks and methodological approaches to assist the reader in the sharing of research. The text lays out practical, step-by-step guidance on selecting the best platform in which to present or publish a research outcome, and it offers guidance on preparing and submitting manuscripts and proposals. |

The book is broken into three sections. Part I focuses on the role of play in the lives of humans, both past and present. Nurturing creativity within play opportunities and understanding how the delivery of games affects learning outcomes are explored. Part II introduces the Physical Education Creative Framework (PE-CF) and guides educators through ready-to-use sample games for use in preK to grade 5. In part III educators get to practice designing games with guided questions that incorporate the National Physical Education Standards and the PE-CF. Pedagogical aids throughout the text include chapter objectives, boxes, sidebars, and visual elements such as charts, graphs, and diagrams of games.
Related online materials for the games in chapters 3 through 8 are delivered via HKPropel. The games are presented so that the teacher can transfer the information into the lesson plan format they find useful. Suggested teaching styles, how to introduce the game, ways to expand or deepen student learning outcomes, and contextual considerations to keep in mind are included in the game descriptions, and there are task cards, posters, exit slips, and game materials that can be printed for the reader¡¦s use.
Creating Games With a Purpose gives physical educators a framework to construct games that challenge and inspire elementary students to make choices, solve problems, take on leadership, and gain knowledge¡Xall through play. |
