In line with its commitment to supporting scholarly output and fostering academic authorship, the Deanship of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences has received a copy of the book "Functional Anatomy for Athletes," co-authored by Professor Qusay Salih Mallallah and Assistant Professor Ali Khayoun.

The book systematically explores the anatomical structure of the human body—beginning with foundational anatomical concepts and terminology, and progressing to an in-depth study of the skeletal system, including its bones, joints, and muscles. It highlights the functional interplay between anatomical structure and physical movement, serving both the theoretical and practical dimensions of the sports field.

He emphasized the Deanship’s dedication to supporting and encouraging scholarly writing and academic research, with the aim of strengthening the College’s academic standing and advancing the quality of education and research in the field of physical education and sports sciences. At the conclusion of the meeting, the College Deanship expressed its gratitude and appreciation to Professor Qusay Salih Malallah and Assistant Professor Ali Khayoun, commending their scholarly contributions and efforts in support of the academic mission.
