Anatomical Kinesiology  Revised Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Michael Gross

Anatomical Kinesiology: Revised Edition offers a clear and comprehensive guide to understanding the muscles and anatomical structures responsible for human movement. As a foundational subject, it supports further study in key areas such as biomechanics, musculoskeletal injury, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and related disciplines.

The book is organized into 18 chapters across five main sections. Section I includes four chapters covering essential anatomy and physiology concepts relevant to kinesiology, including body orientation, anatomical terminology, and the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Section II consists of three chapters focused on bones and their anatomical landmarks. The remaining three sections are dedicated to muscle anatomy, with separate sections for the lower extremities, axial skeleton, and upper extremities.

Chapters are structured by body regions—such as the ankle, knee, and shoulder—to support focused and practical learning. A perforated workbook included at the end of the book offers review questions and study exercises designed to help students reinforce their understanding and memorize the structure and function of bones and muscles throughout the body.
