Bones
A human skeleton is made up of 206 named bones which all differ in size, shape and function. The skeleton has a number of jobs to do including protection of our internal organs, storage of the mineral Calcium, providing attachment points for muscles via tendons and providing levers for movement. On the following diagram, you will find listed the major bones with which you need to be familiar.
Muscles
Without muscles, movement would be impossible! Muscles are the engines that allow our skeleton to move. Additionally, muscles also give us shape, control our posture and also generate heat when we are cold by making us shiver.
Exercise Terminology
The health and fitness industry has a language all of its own…much of it coming from the medical establishment. Being familiar with this weird and wonderful language will mean that your fellow health & fitness professionals will be able to communicate with you much more effectively.
To make your transition from student to qualified fitness professional easier, we have provided you with some downloadable documents to start your career in health & fitness even before you attend a single SFQ lecture! There is no need to memorise the following information because it will be covered in depth during your time with us.
