Module Aims
|
7 To introduce students to the subject and concepts of biomechanics and develop their understanding to allow them to apply this knowledge to sport and exercise.
7 To provide the students with the skills necessary to undertake a biomechanical qualitative analysis and provide feedback to a performer.
7 To provide experience in using biomechanical equipment
|
|
Learning Outcomes
|
Students will be able to:
7 Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the concepts of linear and angular kinematics applied to sport and exercise.
7 Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of basic concepts in linear and angular kinetics applied to sport and exercise.
7 Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of selected experimental techniques in biomechanics.
7 Perform a qualitative analysis and present a multimedia report for a coach or athlete.
