This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Healthy lifestyle conversations are challenging for healthcare professionals General practitioners are short on time, and nurses don’t want to offend patients New research has identified four strategies that promote healthy living conversations (1) Select the right environment – a private area is ideal for a one-on-one conversation (2) Focus on patient needs, not desired outcomes (3) Talk about healthy practices during routine visits (4) Build a rapport with patients to encourage broader health discussions These strategies make it easier for any healthcare professional to deliver healthy lifestyle interventions But more information is needed on patient perspectives about lifestyle conversations Keyworth et al. (2019). Healthcare professionals' barriers and enablers to providing opportunistic behaviour change interventions during routine medical consultations..."

This text been designed for an undergraduate human anatomy and physiology course at a medium sized public university. This text has been modified from the original OpenStax text to encourage more active reading for an early undergraduate student taking the first semester of a year-long human anatomy and physiology course sequence. This text has been targeted to our student population, consisting primarily of first semester pre-nursing and kinesiology majors at a university with a high proportion of first generation and PELL-eligible students who benefit from lower barriers to entry into the field. Therefore, freely-available and differently presented text can be beneficial to this student population. This version was designed with the intention of distributing it section by section through a learning management system. If this mode of distribution is used, connection to an assessment tool could be utilized. Systems covered include skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous.
As this text reorganizes and modifies an OpenStax’s Anatomy and Physiology 2e (see related resources link below), chapter numbers and chapter section numbers from the original have been preserved in this document. Material supplemented from other sources is cited within the text.
Course connections: Undergraduate courses aimed towards freshmen or sophomore, including Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology, Physiology, Introduction to Physiology, Human Biology or similar with a human focus.

The purpose of this class is to offer students a new perspective on the importance of our bodily experience to our cognitive and social lives. The curriculum is designed to foster a working appreciation for how better bodily awareness can positively affect how we feel in our bodies, carry and present ourselves for improved social sensitivity and more successful social interactions.

"Can athletes’ ACLs be “trained” to resist injury? A new study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that it’s possible. Studies on animals have shown that exercise during growth periods like puberty can “bulk up” the ACL, increasing its size and improving its mechanical properties. However, evidence of so-called “ACL hypertrophy” in human athletes is scarce. To address this gap, researchers examined the knees of 52 athletes who had been skating or diving since before puberty or since puberty onset. These types of athletes always land or jump up using the same leg, which the researchers labeled as the “dominant leg,” and thus habitually load one knee more than the other while training for their sport. Specifically, the team compared ACL and patellar tendon dimensions and knee strength between the left and right knees. They also examined how differences in ACL dimensions between knees correlated with age at training onset and with the number of years of training..."

This lesson covers the topic of muscles. Students learn about the three different types of muscles in the human body and the effects of microgravity on muscles. Students also learn how astronauts need to exercise in order to lessen muscle atrophy in space. Students discover what types of equipment engineers design to help the astronauts exercise while in space.

This activity helps students learn about the three different types of muscles and how outer space affects astronauts' muscles. They will discover how important it is for astronauts to get adequate exercise both on Earth and in outer space. Also, through the design of their own microgravity exercise machine, students learn about the exercise machines that engineers design specifically for astronaut use.

Myofascial trigger-points are a hot topic in the world of pain management. The issue that most critics have with myofascial trigger-points or other tissue-driven pain problem is that it is an oversimplification of a very complex process. It is still not know if our manual treatments are ‘correcting a local pathology' or if it just sensory input leading to a cascade response through the nervous system resulting in the 'descending modulation' of the pain experience.
