Human movement is the scientific study of how the human body works and focuses on improving the body for sport, fitness and wellbeing. It covers the physiological, biomechanical and psychological systems of the body. The skeletal system is composed of bones, ligaments, tendons and joints, with bone being a rigid connective tissue made of calcium. The muscular system permits body movement, maintains posture and circulates blood, and is controlled by the nervous system.
