ADVANCED EXERCISE BIOMECHANICS
EXS3AEB
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject will advance your theoretical and practical understanding of exercise and sports biomechanics. In this subject you will explore the relationship between biomechanical principles of human movement that underpin common activities of daily living to observe, describe, measure and analyse gross body movements relevant to performance in sport and exercise. This subject will examine the biomechanics of human walking and running gait and the changes which occur with development and ageing. This subject will introduce you to principles of tissue mechanics and will explore the contribution of biomechanics to the field of sports injury prevention.
