In this subject, you will be introduced to the biomechanical principles of human movement. You will explore how biomechanical principles relate to the analysis of movement in a range of contexts, with an emphasis on sporting technique and performance enhancement. The application of these principles to sport, exercise, and health will also be covered. Practical classes will reinforce knowledge and assist you in developing practical skills in movement analysis, with an appreciation for the requirements for, and justification of, movement-based analysis. You will need to demonstrate skill in conducting and interpreting biomechanical measurements. At the end of this subject and through the integration of applied knowledge and practical skills, you will be expected to describe, measure, analyse and evaluate the mechanical principles underlying human movement.
