Student Instructions
Assignments may include a variety of questions, this can include short or longer answer questions. These
questions are designed to test how you apply your knowledge into a real-world situation.
All
assignments are completed as a Microsoft Word document and must be submitted through My eCampus
for grading.
Your assessor is looking for how you apply your knowledge and how you think critically
about the topic area.
1.
It is important to have a sound knowledge of posture and the involvement of musculoskeletal
anatomy and appropriate corrective actions.

Suggested
corrective exercises
(Strengthening and
Stretching)
Stretch: chest stretch, anterior deltoids, lats
Strengthen: rhomboids, rear deltoids, trapezius
Postural
abnormality
Winged scapula: when the muscles of the scapular are to
weak or paralyzed, resulting in a limited ability to stabilize
the scapula. As a result, the medial border of the scapula
protrudes, like wings. The main reasons for this condition
are musculoskeletal and nuerological related.
Winged scapula is almost always caused by damage to
one of three nerves that control muscles in your arms,
back and neck:
-
The long thoracic nerve, which controls the serratus
anterior muscle
-
The dorsal scapula nerve, which controls the
rhomboid muscles
-
The spinal accessory nerve, which controls the
traperzius muscle
Tight muscles
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Subscapularis
Latissimus dorsi
Weak muscles
Serratus anterior
Rhomboids
Suggested
corrective
exercises
(Strengthening
and Stretching)
Stretch: pectorals, lats and shoulder mobility work
Strengthen: seated row, scapula fixation work, wall
pushes(scapula pro/retraction)
2.
There are five common injuries that occur as a result of poor posture.
In the following table,
provide a description of each of these five conditions, outlining the impact that they have on
posture as well as the muscles involved and how they are affected. (range 50-100 words per
condition)
Injury
Condition
Posture and muscles involved
Sciatica
Sciatica is a sympton that can
be caused by various mideical
disorders, including spinal
stenosis, which is a restriction
You adopt a slouched or slumped posture, or
you lean forward at your desk, you place an
increased strain on you lower back. The
causes of sciatica include leg growth

Injury
Condition
Posture and muscles involved
of the lower back’s spinal
canal, or degenerative disc
disease, which is a
distintergration of the discs
that act as cushions between
the vertebrae. The sciatic
nerve, which travels through
the buttocks under the
pirformis muscles, is
compressed as a result of the
disease.
differences and muscle imbalances including
tight growing muscles and weak hip
abductors.
Neck pain
This actions can cause pain and
stiffness. Shoulders can neck
sitting in this posture, this
person will fall into a fallen
posture, with rounded
shoulders and protruding neck.
This ultimately leads to shortening of the
chest muscles and weakening of the small
postural muscles of the upeer back and neck,
which are used to pull the shoulders back.
Ultimately, this results in larger back and neck
muscles, namely trapezius and rhomboid
muscles, which work harder and become tight
and painful when they try to pull their
shoulders back.
Patellofemoral
knee pain
This is commonly referred to as
anterior knee pain. This
condition is caused by overuse
injury, which can cause non-
specific pain in the fron of the
knee. This type of pain is
exacerbated by range of
different activities, including
walking down stairs or climbing
mountains, getting up after
sitting for a long time.
If there is a muscle imbalance between the
quadriceps muscles: vastus lateralis, which
pulls your patella up and outwards, and the
vastus medialis oblique, which is the only
quadriceps muscle that pulls our knee can
upand slightly in, then your patella will track
laterally in the groove. Poor foot posture(eg
flat feet) and weak hip control muscles can
both allow your knee to abnormally twist and
result in a lateral deviation of your patella.
Lower back
pain
There are many diffenret
causes of lower back pain, and
it is often imposible to
determine the individuals pain.
In cases where lower back pain
is not caused by trauma or
overuse, it is usually caused by
improper posture. Poor
posture puts extra pressure on
the muscles and ligaments that
support the lower back. This
The most common postural factors that cause
lower back pain include differences in leg
length, excessive internal rotation, and pelvic
tilt, which can cause lower back arches.
Affected muscles include the extensor, flexor
and oblique muscles.

Injury
Condition
Posture and muscles involved
can cause over work of certain
muscles, which can lead to
muscle cramps and sometimes
muscle strains.
Shoulder
impingement
Theses types of injuries can
occur when the space in the
shoulder joint is reduced,
causing one or more tendons
passing through the space to
be squeezed.
If the chest muscles are tight and the upper
back muscles such as the lower trapezius and
the srratus anterior are weak through
extended periods of sitting slouched at a desk,
then this can cause the shoulder joint to sit in
a forwards position. Muscles affected include
supraspunatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and
subscapularis.
3.
There is a definitive relationship between poor posture, increased risk of injury, and muscular
deficit.
Please describe how poor posture exacerbates each of the following.
1. Diminished muscle
strength and
endurance
Overtime poor posture that demands support from phasic fibres
causes the deep muscles to waste away from lack of use. Weak
muscles tend to tighten and then shortening of muscle length can
compact the bones of the spine and worsen posture.
2. Limited flexibility
Poor posture can reduce the optimum length and tension
relationship of skeletal muscles leading to stiffness in joints as they
are prevented from moving through their full range of motion.
3.
Increased muscle
tension and tone
This improves posture.
4.
Limited function
Poor posture can alter your biodynamics, reducing your range of
motion and putting excess stress on nerves and joints, as a result you
may experience symptoms just about anywhere in the body.(pain,
numbness, stiffness or mobilitu issues.
4.
In the following table, several joint complexes are listed.
You will need to record the main planes of
movement that the joint can work within, the movement types and the range of motion for each
movement type.
Sagittal Plane
Description
Lies vertically and divides the body into right and left parts.
Movements that take place in this
plane
Up and down movements of flexation and extension.
Example of an exercise in this plane
Beceps curls, squats, front deltoid raises, overhead triceps
press and lunges

FA05 – Functional Anatomy
Assignment v2.0 (2020/04/01)
Frontal Plane
Description
Lies vertically and divides the body into anterior and
posterior parts.
Movements that take place in this
plane
Sideways movement of the abduction and adduction.
Example of an exercise in this plane
Side leg lifts, lateral raises, jumping jacks and side to side
gallops.
Transverse Plane
Description
Lies horizontally and divides the body into superior and
inferior parts.
Movements that take place in this
plane
Rotationanl, such as internal and external rotation and
pronation and supnation.
Example of an exercise in this plane
Kettlebell lunge twist, 180 degree squat jump with toe
touch, low lunge touch with reach, pallof press, single leg
hip rotation.
5.
Skeletal muscles are arranged throughout the body in opposing pairs.
During movement, each
muscle within the pair opposes the other, which allows movement to occur.
In the following table,
use the same exercise and provide an example of each muscle and describe a movement associated
with it?
Muscles
Movement description
Muscle involved
Agonist
Promarily causes movement due to its
shortening contraction. It is also
known as the ‘prime mover’ in an
exercise as the muscle is
predominantly responsible for the
movement occuring
Bicep curl: bicep brachii
Antagonist
Opposes the agonis during an
exercuse by lengthening or relaxing to
allow the movement to occur.
Bicep curl: tricep
Synergist
Works in coordination with the
agonist muscle to generate
movement. It is like a helper muscle
that indirectly assissts with the
movement. Eg, brachioradialis and
brachialis.
Bicep curl: brachioradialis and brachialis
Fixator
Stabilises to eliminate the unwanted
movement of an agonist’s origin. In
other words, it acts to fixate the

6.
What is Wolff’s law? How is it linked to bone modelling and remodelling?
(limit 100 words per
factor)
It states that bones will adapt to the loads that it is placed under. If the load increases on a
particular bone, that bone will remmodal itself over time to become stronger, thereby coping
better with the load it is under. Loads can be placed on bone through impact and/or muscle
constraction. The higher the intensity of impact and/or muscular contraction, the greater the
effects on bone remodelling/density.
7.
There is a range of different conditions and lifestyles that can change the centre of gravity and
affect posture.
Please complete the following table and describe how these factors result in a
change in gravity and thus affect posture. (limit 50 words per factor)
Factor that affects the
centre of gravity
Description of how posture is affected
Pregnancy
In pregnancy, the focal point of gravity shifts upwards. As the
stomach begins to develop, the focal point of gravity begins to
move, which will commonly affect on equilibrium and some
distress in low back torment. As the gut gets greater, the pelvis
starts to normally roll forward into a foremost pelvic slant.
Overweight
This posture features twisting while walking with short, stiff stpes.
A large abdomen requires a compensatory posterior torso leaning
and acute lumbosacral angle to balance the anterior weight. More
weight is bone by the heels.
Inappropriate footwear
They place the foot into an unnatural position. Prolonged periods
of walking can place stress on the back of the neck, causing
permanent postural changes.
Poor work practices
(office worker)
The centre of gravity in erect sitting position, the centre of gravity
is forward of the ishia, the lumbar lordosis is but slightly flattened
and about 25% of body weight is transmitted to the floor through
the lower extremities.
8.
Agility is the ability to control changes in direction and body position quickly and effectively.
There
are several factors that affect coordination and agility.
Complete the following table, explaining
how each factor impacts coordination and agility.
Factor that affects agility
Description of how it impacts agility
Fine motor skills
Fine motor skills can affect the individuals agility skill by improved
movement in smaller muscles. This motor skill involves a refined use
of the small muscles which have control of the hands and fingers,
dexterity , and hand-eye coordination. This can impact a clients daily
activities.
Gross motor skills
Gross motor skills involve movements of the large muscles such as
arms, legs and torso. This motor skill will enhance the quality of
Page

Assignment v2.0 (2020/04/01)
movement which would determine how agile the client is in these
muscle groups. This is effected through everyday action.
Hand eye skills
Hand eye skill can impact agaility as it effects its reaction time of
being able to notice when to perform the movement and how to do
so.
9.
Ideal postural alignment is important for maintaining optimum health and wellbeing. Explain what
the postural deviations are in the the three spinal postures below.
Spinal posture
Description
Scoliosis
Is the abnormal curvature of the spine.
Kyphosis
Is an excessive outward curve of the thoracic spine.
Lordosis
Is an excessive inward curve of the lumbar spine.
10.
In order to prevent injury, it is important to have an understanding of how the body may respond to
exercise if there is an injury.
Complete the following table by providing an explanation for each of
the situations given.
Anatomical
situation
Description
Increase
pronation of
foot and ankle
complex
When the arch of the foot collapses excessively downward or inward, this is
known as overpronation. People with this condition are more prone to injury.
This is because it disrupts the body’s natural alignment and causes increased
impact when the foot strikes the ground.
Increase
supination of
foot and ankle
Supination occurs when weight is placed on the outside of the foot while
walking or running. Excessive supination can cause problems with the body’s
alignment and lead to pain in the feet, knees, hips and back. Ways to prevent
include wearing proper shoes.
Hyperextension
of knees
Also known as Genu Recurvatum occurs when the leg excessively straightens at
the knee joint, putting stress on the knee structures and the back of the knee
joint. During hyperextension the knee joint bends the wrong way which often
results in swelling, pain and tissue damage.
Lateral tilt of
pelvis
Is tiliting toward either right or left and is associated with scoliosis or people
who have legs of differentlength. It can also happen when one leg is bent while
the other remains straight in that case the bent sides hip can follow the femur
as knee lowers towards the ground.
Forward head
posture
(poking of the chin) involves increased flexion of lower cervical vertebrae and
the upper thoracic regions. This may result in craniofacial pain, headache, neck
ache and shouder pain together with decreased range of cervical motion,
muscle stiffness and tenderness.

Anatomical
situation
Description
Rotated patella
Patella Malalignment is
a translational or rotational deviation of the patella to
any acis, associated with several soft-tissue and osteochondral abnormalities
and mostly characterised by a titled and lateral displaced patella.
11.
Describe the difference between the three (3) different class levers?
Class of
lever
Definition
First class
levers
The fulcrum is located between the resistance and the force. A seesaw is a first
class lever. These are rare in the body and few exercises utilize them.
Second class
levers
The resistance lies between the fulcrum and the force as in a wheelbarrow. In a
calf raise for example the resistance (the weight of the body) is positioned
between the fulcrum the toes and balls of the feet and the force which is applied
by the calf muscles pulling on the heel.
Third class
levers
Most levers in the body are third class. This is when the force is applied, between
the fulcrum and the resistance. For example, bicep curls employ a third class lever,
with the force being exerted by the bicep muscle between the fulcrum at the
elbow joint and the weight in your hands.
12.
Record two types of exercise that are beneficial in improving the skills outlined in the table below.
Skills
Two types of exercise
Balance
Standing with your weight on one leg and raising the other leg to the side or
behind you.
Standing up and sitting down from a chair without your hands
Agility
Lateral plyometric jumps
Jump box drills
Power
Leg press
Medicine ball squat throws
Speed
Sled push or sprint
Single leg romanian deadlift
Reaction time
Yoga
Interval drills with sprints
Co-ordination
Standing on one foot and tossing a tennis ball from hand to hand

Changes in musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology are fundamental to fitness improvements.
In the following table, record the changes in each anatomical and physiological structure of the
musculoskeletal system.
Musculoskeletal anatomy and
physiology
Changes and improvements in response to fitness
Skeleton
Physically active people have higher bone density. It will reduce
your rick of age-related bone loss may also provide lifelong
benefits. Skeletal muscle will increase in strength by enlarging
the cell size.
Joints
Regular stretching of the joints increases your felxibility and
decreases your risk of join injury. This will also manage your
weight, which in turn lessens your risk of developing certain
forms of arthritis which is a leading cause of joint pain. Increase
production of synovial fluid, which keeps joints lubricated.
Synovial fluid increases the range of movement.
Cellular structure of muscle
fibre
New cells are not formed when muscles grow due to fitness,
structural proteins are added to muscle fibres in a process
Called hypertophy which in turn cell diameter increases. There
are a few changes that occur in cellular structure of muscle
fibres, including:
-increase in the size and quantity of mitochondria in the cells
- increase in activity of enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cyle
(which is also known as the TCA cycle, the krebs cycle and as
the citric acid cycle), a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical
reactions that form a key part of aerobic respiration in cells.
-increase in fatty acid oxidation (fatty acid oxidation in
mitochondria provides energy to cells when glucose levels are
low).
Sliding filaments
(actin and myosin)
The action during contraction during exercise cause shortening
of all sarcomeres and therefore all muscle fibers. The muscles
respond to a nerve impulse by shortening. Enhanced muscle
protein synthesis as a result of increased fitness levels there will
be an incorporation of these proteins into cells to cause
hypertrophy. Becaused there are more potential power strokes
associated with increased action and myosin concentrations,
the muscle can exhibit greater strength.
14.
It is important to have sound knowledge of anatomical terminology, not least because you will
continue to apply it in the other fitness units in this program.

Describe the role of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including somatic and autonomic
nervous systems, in the control of skeletal muscle.
In your response, you will need to highlight the
following:
a) Nervous control and nerve impulse
b) Structure and function of a neuron
c) Role of a motor neuron
d) Role of the muscle proprioceptors and the stretch reflex
Automatic nervous system are made up of a group of internal organs that involuntarily uses
energy and make the body function, this is made up of blood vessels, smooth and cardiac muscles
etc. somatic nervous systems are those that have voluntary control of the musculoskeletal system.
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord whereas the peripheral nervous
system includes everything outside of the brain and spinal cord such as muscles. Nerve impulses
begin when stimulus from the outside environment or other unputs are received by the nerve cell

and are sent to the axon. A neuron consists of the cell body with multiple dendrites extending out.
Impulses are sent through the neutron to the dendrites where the stimulus or information is
interpreted. Motor neurons are connected to the central nervous system and control all of your
involuntary muscle movements. Muscle proprioceptors are responsible for reacting to stimulus
and sending that information to the neutron so it can be interpreted. The stretch reflex results
from a message being sent from the muscle being stretched to the spinal cord where the muscle
and motor neurone is then activated.
20.
Define reciprocal inhibition and its relevance to exercise. (limit 50 words)
Related to one side of a muscle relaxing and expanding while the other side is contracting. It is
important for one side of the muscle to relax and the other to contract so a tear or injury
doesn’t occur in the muscle.
21.
Describe the neuromuscular adaptations to training that occur and how this effects
performance.
Neuromuscular adaptations are when the body realises it is exercising and activates more
motor units more effectively so the body can keep up with the exertion used while exercising.

Describe proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and how it assists active and passive
range of motion as well as its use in rehabilitation? (limit 100 words)
PNF stretching is one of te best way to stretch, it allows muscles to be concracted and relaxed
and allows to gain a greater range of motion as you are being pushed past your normal limit of
flexibility. PNF stretching helps increase neuromuscular efficiency and allows people with injury
to gain a better ROM while healing.

Sits in the right chamber of the heart divider between the right ventricle
and the right atrium takes in the deoxygenated blood.
2.
Pulmonary valve
Opens and systolic and closes at the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle
has 3 cups. Allows deoxygenated blood to be pumped from the right
ventricle.
3.
Aortic valve
Consists of left coronary cusp, right coronary cusp and non-coronary
cusp. Helps the blood get pumped out of the left ventricle.
Coronary
circulation
Deoxygenated blood is carried back to the heart via coronary veins.
26.
Describe the short-term and long-term effects of exercise on blood pressure . (limit 80-100
words)
Short term effects of exercise on blood pressure: while exercising, blood pressure goes up as
more demand is placed on the heart to pump oxygenated blood around the body. In a healthy
duly, blood presure will go back down to normal after exercise.
Long term effects of exercise on blood pressre: refular exercise for people with hypertension can
greatly affect their ability for their heart to pump blood around the body and therefore ultimately
reduce their resting BP.

Exercise effects a range of different aspects of the musculoskeletal system.
Exercise can affect
the bones, ligaments and muscles.
Please complete the table below (limit 80-100 words).
Changes in
musculoskelet
al system
Description
Increase in
synovial fluid
production
Keeps joints lubricated and nourished.
Increase joint
range of motion
Exercise created production on synovial fluid and therefore allows for a
greater range of motion and flexibility at a joint.
Increase bone
density
When bone is placed under a load, the body produces cells called
osteoblasts which build new bone and make it denser.
Stronger
ligament
With regular exercise, ligamnets become stronger and more resistant to
injury.
28.
Define delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). What causes it and how do we prevent it?
(limit 50-80 words)
Exercise related muscle pain. Develops after excessive and unaccustomed exercise. It is caused by
myofibril tears/muscle strains. It can be prevented by not overdoing it with exercise and making
sure you are having the appropriate rest time for your muscles to recover.
29.
Describe three (3) short-term and three (3) long-term effects of exercise on the
musculoskeletal system. In your answer for short term effects you will need to include blood
flow, muscle fatigue and exhaustion. In the long term effects you will need to include muscle
size, muscle co-ordination and blood supply. (limit 50 words)
Short term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system include the muscles becoming very
sore and fatigued due to impaired blood flow and build up lactic acid in the muscles. Long term
effects include increased muscle size and hypertrophy, better coordination and agility, more
range of motion and better flexibility and better blood flow to the muscles and internal organs.
30.
There is a number of benefits and limitations when monitoring exercise intensity.
In your
response, address the following topics: (limit 50-100 words)
Monitoring
exercise intensity
Description

levels.
Heart rate
monitoring
Allows live and instant BPM and heart rate measurments to judge if the
intensity of the workout is appropriate for the client.
31.
Describe the expected physiological responses to the following situations and settings.
(limit
50-100 words)
Situations and settings
Physiological Responses
A single bout of exercise
Sweating, flushed face/sin, increased heart rate
Physical activity in various
environmental conditions
(heat, cold, and high
altitude)
Heart: increase in dehydration, increase in sweat, increasing in
plasma tonicity and decrease in blood volume this is because the
body is trying to cool the body down.
Cold: Decrease cardio respiratory endurance, maximal heart rate
decrease, less o2is delivered to muscles, develop fatigue at a
slower rate.
High Altitude: Decrease in anaerobic metabolism, low maximal o2
concumption, hyperventilation increase in heart rate, increase in
stroke volume, increase in blood vessels.
Long-term exercise
programs
Risk of injury, increased stop volume.
32.
Describe the industry-endorsed risk stratification procedures and how clients are classified as
low, moderate or high risk.
Low risk clients
Younger, asymptomatic clients, no more than 1 risk factor
Moderate risk clients
Older people, men over 45years and women over 55years, have 2 or
more risk factors
High risk clients
Individuals with a known cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic
disease.
33.
Referrals from medical or allied health professionals can be required at times for clients who

completed a pre-exercise screening tool and has identified that he has high blood pressure.
There
are no other risk factors present.
You have also completed a postural analysis with Tom and he
appears to have kyphosis.
He
has recently started attending the gym 3 times a week to do his own workouts and he is quite
happy with his current routine.
He is however finding that he has a very tight neck and shoulders
and that this is causing him discomfort both at the gym and in daily life.
Initially he would like his
program with you to focus on improving his posture.
Before you commence training with Tom you have
sent a referral request to his General
Practitioner.
Thankyou for referring Tom.
Today during his visit his blood pressure was 142/90.
I will continue to
monitor this with Tom.
Participation in a graded exercise program will be beneficial for Tom.
There
are no contraindications for his participation however I recommend starting with a low to moderate
intensity program.
Task
Write a 30 minute personal training program for Tom that focuses on improving his posture and
stretching any tight muscles.
He would also like you to include some upper body strengthening exercises
to try to correct his posture.
In your program you must include:
•
A warm up that specifies the activity duration and intensity
•
A conditioning phase that contains:
o
At least 3 strengthening exercises to aid in improving his posture
o
At least 3 stretches (to be performed in-between exercises) to aid in releasing tight muscles
•
A cool down that contains full body stretches
