Anatomy teaching is considered a cornerstone of Sport and Exercise Science programmes, however has a wide array of teaching tools to consider. The present study has compared student perceptions of traditional anatomy teaching tools (cadaveric prosections, plastic models, electronic resources and printed resources) and novel teaching tools (ultrasound, muscle elastics and muscle modelling). 28 students from a Sport and Exercise Science cohort completed a student perception of anatomy teaching tools questionnaire. Students ranked cadaveric prosections, muscle modelling and muscle elastics as their top 3 tools, while cadaveric prosections were consistently rated significantly higher than printed resources and plastic models in students’ perception of achieving learning outcomes (P
