Module Aims
|
To develop the students ability to perform a qualitative analysis in sportTo develop and extend the students understanding of the biomechanical factors affecting sporting performance and functional movement.
To introduce students to equipment and protocols in quantitative analysis.
To be able to carry out an independent quantitative evaluation of either a sporting or functional movement biomechanically.
|
|
