This document provides you with information from the textbook about chapter 2.

These notes were taken in Dr. Geary's lecture class at the University of Alabama. They include the information discussed in class for the FINAL and information from the textbook.

These notes are taken from Dr. Geary's lecture class at the University of Alabama. They include in-depth details about the topics covered on Exam 3 and information from the text book provided for the class. There are pictures included from the text book in the notes.

This document goes into great detail about the steps of the sliding filament theory. Pictures and descriptions are included.

This document provides you with information from the text book from Chapter 1 of the biomechanics class with Dr. Geary.

These notes were taken in Dr. Geary's lecture class at the University of Alabama. They list in-depth details about the topics that Dr. Geary emphasized in class and also include information from the text book.

These notes depict chapters 11 and 3 of the Manual of Structural Kinesiology. The vertebral column is covered as well as the muscles of the core, head, and neck. Mechanical advantage, motive force, resistive force, levers, wheel-axle arrangements, and pulley arrangements within the body are also covered.

These notes cover types of muscle fibers and contractions. Also covers muscle and neuromuscular physiology including length-tension and force-velocity relationships, neuromuscular properties of muscle, motor units, neuromuscular proprioceptors, tendons, sliding filament theory, and components of health. Neuromuscular adaptation, biarticulation, and active and passive insufficiencies are covered as well.

These notes cover chapter 8-10 of the Manual of Structural Kinesiology. The muscles of the pelvic girdle, hip joint, and ankle joint are covered.

These notes cover the basis of the skeletal system, planes of motion, types of joints, joint actions, and kinetic chains. They also cover the shoulder girdle, shoulder joint, elbow joint, and radioulnar joint.
