Aims & Learning Objectives:
To synthesise and apply scientific concepts in sport and exercise biomechanics and to appreciate the contribution of methodological advances in analysing human motion.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
* Demonstrate effective integration of written material in biomechanics.
* Apply biomechanical knowledge in the construction of simple computer simulation models.
Content:
Directed research level biomechanics reference material including texts in three dimensional analysis, motor control, inertia parameters, computer simulation, non-rigid body modelling, elite sport performance, and measurement accuracy and reliability issues. Small-group practical sessions in basic computer simulation modelling.
