Getting physical with medical education: Exercise based virtual anatomy review classes for medical students

Table 1 Examples of exercises performed and relevant anatomy cues

Class format	Exercise	Anatomy cues
Bodyweight resistance exercise	Reverse lunge	Muscle: This exercise should be felt in the quadriceps, but what other muscle groups are being activated?
			Also working gluteal region, the hamstring group, and the medial compartment of thigh
		What are the three muscles that form the ‘glutes’?
			Gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus
			Innervation: What are they innervated by?
			Gluteus maximus: Inferior gluteal nerve
			Gluteus medius and minimus: Superior gluteal nerve
		Clinical correlate: What can result if gluteus medius and minimus lose their innervation?
			Trendelenburg gait/sign
Bodyweight resistance exercise	Push ups	Muscle: What muscles are being used when performing this exercise?
			Pectoralis and triceps muscle group
		Origin/ Insertion: Where do these muscles originate from and where do they insert?
			Pectoralis: Originates from the midline (sternum and clavicle) to attach at the humerus (pec. major) and coracoid process of scapula (pec. minor)
			Triceps: Originate on humerus and cross elbow joint to insert on olecranon process of ulna
				Exception: long head of triceps which originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of scapula and is the only one to cross the shoulder joint
		Innervation: What are they innervated by?
			Medial and lateral pectoral nerve (pectoralis)
			Radial nerve (triceps)
Yoga	Warrior two	Muscle: What muscles are holding the arms up in abduction?
			Deltoid and supraspinatus (first 15 degrees of abduction)
			Innervation: What nerves are they innervated by and what are the nerve roots:
			Deltoid: Axillary nerve
			Supraspinatus: Suprascapular nerve
			Roots: C5 and C6
		Clinical correlate: What would be the result of a C5, C6 nerve root lesion?
			Waiter's tip position: Adduction, medial rotation, extension and pronation of arm
