Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce the basic principles of human anatomy, functional movement, biomechanics, and motor skill acquisition, and to illustrate applications of these principles in sport, exercise, and health. The module also aims to introduce experimental methods in biomechanics and to develop skills in data handling.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe human anatomical structure and function and apply these concepts to sport, exercise and health
2.
Apply concepts and techniques of biomechanics to sport, exercise, and health
3.
Apply concepts and techniques of skill acquisition to sport, exercise, and health
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Functional Movement: Muscle Structure for Function; bones and joints; planes and Axes of Rotation. Applications in Biomechanics Context: Linear Motion; angular motion; forces; dynamics. Applications in Skill Acquisition: Motor Learning; feedback; practice.
