Syllabus
This unit is designed to introduce the field of Biomechanics to students. During the first half of the semester the unit content centres primarily on mechanical theory, focussing on how these concepts can be applied to the human body. In the second half of the semester the subject content focuses analysis of human movement including, walking, running and swimming.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will:
1. Have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the mechanical factors that influence human movement;
2. Have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system with particular emphasis on joint function; and
3. Be able to conduct a qualitative biomechanical analysis and be able to supply meaningful feedback concerning technique modification.
Assessment Items
Contact Hours
Two hours of lectures per week and one 2 hour practical on alternate weeks.
