Module Overview:
The aim of this module is for you to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate sports biomechanics in performance and injury contexts.
The aim of this module is for you to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate sports biomechanics in performance and injury contexts.
Additional Information:You will focus on the quantification of sports skills from both a performance and injury prevention perspective. You will be introduced to key data collection methods and analysis software used in sports biomechanics research and applications to specific sports and injury scenarios. You will collect kinematic data in the laboratory and understand how the data is processed towards final assessment of the performance or risk factors for injury. Sports injury aspects are further expanded by using musculo-skeletal modelling software.
