Aims
The aim of this module is to develop the understanding of biomechanical principles and key measurement techniques for use in sport and exercise contexts.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse, interpret and report biomechanical data related to sports skills
2.
Evaluate biomechanical principles in a sports and exercise context in terms of forces, motion and muscle actions
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Force analysis, including practical laboratory work and data analysis
Motion analysis, including practical laboratory work and data analysis
3D Kinematics, including practical laboratory work and data analysis
Combining motion and forces
Muscle activity and contraction, including practical laboratory work and data analysis
Acceleration and inertial sensors
Additional Information:This module continues to build biomechanical knowledge by addressing fundamental principles on forces, motion and muscle action. You will learn the theoretical concepts behind key biomechanical analysis techniques before applying this knowledge in practical laboratory sessions and coursework. The theoretical insights and practical experiences will be complemented with online worksheets and data analysis tasks.
You will also be introduced to more advanced biomechanical methodologies and research areas in biomechanics.
