Description
This subject will guide students through how the different components of the human body come together to create complex human movements that adapt to meet the needs of the task, the individual and the environment. Building on prior learning of biomechanics, functional anatomy and physiology students will learn to analyse common movements used in testing and exercise prescription. They will examine how application of force influences efficiency, injury risk, and comfort at both the joint level and across the full kinetic chain. Students will use biomechanics to justify movement and equipment modifications that enhance participation, reduce load and consider how exercise prescription can be used to retrain and realign forces for specific client outcomes.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Demonstrate the effect of mechanical loading and motor control principles on anatomical structures during activities of daily living and exercise using biomechanical modelling.
- Analyse multi-planar, multi-joint movements for modifiable factors to guide safe exercise intervention across the health span.
- Evaluate equipment characteristics and effects on movement mechanics to inform safe and effective exercise progression and regression in diverse environments.
- Communicate biomechanical findings and actionable recommendations to diverse stakeholders using visual data representation and targeted reporting strategies.
