Fitness Professional's Guide to Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Human Movement is a revolution in the field of human movement. Comprehensive and meticulous, this ground-breaking text is ideal for college courses and a must for any fitness professional. For each muscle in the body, the book includes a detailed illustration that uses color to highlight the muscle. Along with the illustrations, you'll find a brief description of each muscle as well as information on its joint crossings, associated body actions, blood supply, controlling nerves, and insertion and origin.
The accompanying CD-ROM is one-of-a-kind. Developed specifically as a companion to this text, the intuitive and easy-to-use PC CD-ROM applies each of the muscles and body actions described in the book to nearly 300 specific exercises. Each exercise is shown in full-motion video and demonstrated in repeatable, correct form, with complete descriptions, step-by-step instructions, and a list of the body actions used to perform each exercise. By double-clicking on any of the 65 body actions, you'll get a list of each muscle used in that action. Double-click on any of the muscles in the list, and you'll be presented with the same detailed information about that muscle as you'll find in the book. In addition, the CD enables you to view a printable, full-color image of the muscle that you can magnify and isolate from the surrounding muscles. It even gives you an audio clip of the correct pronunciation. Examine sample screen closer.
Another feature of the CD allows you to view over 100 movement related activities, from a field hockey backhand to gardening to rowing a canoe, with corresponding body actions and the same double-click to live action footage and musculoskeletal detail provided for the 300 exercises.
The CD allows you to print sixteen different skeleton illustrations for use in muscle placement exercises. It also contains 20 multiple-choice quizzes on various nomenclatures, actions and attachments; these can be taken electronically and scored instantly or printed for use in classroom exercises.
The CD also features five four- to seven-minute video lectures by Dr. Golding on muscle basics, anatomy, soreness, and strength.

Words of PraiseLarry and Scott Golding have done yeoman's work in assembling this unique text on musculoskeletal anatomy and human movement. This is one of those rare textbooks that is focused and definitive, yet comprehensive in its coverage of the subject matter. I consider this a "must have" physiology, athletic training, physical therapy, etc. I can easily se it replacing more established anatomy texts, which strive to cover all physiological systems but often fall well short in their coverage of musculoskeletal structure and function.
W. Larry Kenney, Ph.D., FACSMPresident-Elect, American College of Sports Medicine This book is a must for any fitness professional interested in functional anatomy and human biomechanics. It contains full-color, detailed yet easy-to-understand illustrations of the complete musculoskeletal anatomy. Fitness Professionals' Guide to Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Human Movement fills a professional void. It will be a key resource for personal trainers, athletic trainers, allied healthcare professionals, and students in exercise science.
Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D., FACSMChief Exercise Physiologist / VP of Educational ServicesAmerican Council of ExerciseSan Diego, CA One of the most comprehensive and meticulous musculoskeletal anatomy books I have ever seen. Each muscle is described thoroughly and represented by a detailed, color illustration to give the reader an intimate knowledge of both forms and function. An essential addition to every fitness professional's library.
Liz Neporent, M.A., C.S.C.S.Author or Weight Training for Dummies and The Ultimate Body Larry Golding is the individual who initially got me interested in exercise physiology. His ability to articulate and apply the essential concepts and principles of exercise, health, and wellness has benefited fitness professionals for more than four decades. In the book, Fitness Professionals' Guide to Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Human Movement, Larry Golding has amplified those lessons and insights. This book provides the quintessential reference for every fitness professional who is interested in musculoskeletal anatomy and human movement
