Description
This subject provides students with the foundational principles of biomechanics, exploring how the laws of physics govern human movement. Students will learn how to integrate these principles with their understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy to explain and quantify motion. The curriculum focuses on applying these concepts to understand movement in activities of daily living, exercise, and sport, establishing the analytical framework essential for future clinical practice.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Explain kinematic and kinetic principles that influence human movement across fundamental and sport specific tasks.
- Analyse the influence of environmental and equipment factors on movement mechanics to inform safe and efficient exercise participation.
- Analyse kinematic and kinetic data obtained using appropriate technologies to identify effective movement strategies.
- Justify exercise interventions and movement modifications by integrating biomechanical calculations and qualitative observations.
