PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOMECHANICS OF MOVEMENT
HBS2PBM
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students will be presented with an integration of mechanical, physiological and anatomical concepts and principles and their application to the understanding of human physical performance in health and disease. Emphasis is placed on the biomechanics of human gait and relevant examples of sports activities. Topics in biomechanics cover the areas of kinematics, kinetics, muscle mechanics and energetics. Topics in physiology build on knowledge gained in first-year and emphasise the short and longer-term responses of skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to exercise. In addition, attention is focused on the link between the level of skeletal muscle adaptation and the cardio-respiratory and metabolic responses to exercise.
