3D ANATOMY: RESISTANCE TRAINING (DVD-ROM)

3D Anatomy: Resistance Training DVD-ROM

3D Anatomy: Resistance Training DVD-Rom is an invaluable reference tool and image library for fitness professionals in training and practice

A dynamic visual resource that makes complex anatomy, functional anatomy and key resistance exercises easier to learn, remember and understand.  3D anatomy section includes detailed and labeled 3D models and sequences covering anatomical language, bones, joints and joint action, muscles, respiratory and cardiovascular systems including labeled cardiac cycles.

Anatomical planes are explained visually and animations are used to show joint actions and muscle function during common movements such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and internal/external rotation.  

Intuitive, interactive functions allow you to rotate each 3D anatomical view 360 degrees or add and remove layers of structures so you can choose the level of detail. Each image can also be printed or exported to Word or PowerPoint royalty free (for non-commercial use).

A resistance exercise section allows comparison of live video clips and 3D animations of 24 exercises that you can label.  Animated sequences can be rotated and any visible anatomical structure clicked on and labeled.  Description text in bullet point format covers correct form and technique for each exercise.

Benefits

• Learn, remember and revise relevant anatomy in visually memorable 3D.
• The same resistance exercises are shown as both live video clips and labeled 3D animations to aid understanding and application to real exercise.
• Use MCQ section to test your knowledge and prepare effectively for exams and straining sessions.
• Export images from the software to produce beautifully illustrated and professional client information sheets
