Course Description

This course continues to develop the understanding of biomechanical principles and measurement techniques for use in sport and exercise contexts. The discussion focuses on the basic kinematic and kinetic concepts, human mobility system, structure and functioning of the human body motion in relation to the physical forces that govern human motion. This course also aims to provide an introduction to experimental methods in biomechanics and to develop skills in data collection and handling.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Present a comprehension of biomechanical principles involved in sport and exercise.
2 ) Apply biomechanical principles in a sports and exercise context in terms of forces, motion and muscle action.
3 ) Displays the ability to perform 2D motion analysis of a sport or exercise skill by using appropriate computer software tools and techniques in biomechanics for data collection and analysis.
