| Description:
| Aims: To understand and apply scientific concepts in biomechanics in the analysis of sports and exercise movements. To interpret data in a way that is useful to sport and exercise scientists and end users. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit students should be able to: * Interpret ground reaction forces in sport and exercise activities. * Determine internal joint forces and muscle moments using inverse dynamic and quasi-static techniques. * Evaluate methods for determining human body segmental inertia parameters. * Demonstrate an understanding of the influence of data processing and error in kinematic and kinetic data management. * Assess technique using kinetic analyses to determine the role and function of specific muscle groups in dynamic human activity. Skills: Knowledge and Understanding - taught, facilitated and assessed Intellectual Skills - taught, facilitated and assessed Professional Practical Skills - facilitated Written Communication - facilitated and assessed Spoken Communication - facilitated and assessed Numeracy - taught, facilitated and assessed Data acquisition, Handling and Analysis - taught, facilitated and assessed Information Technology - facilitated and assessed Problem Solving - taught, facilitated and assessed Working Independently - facilitated and assessed Working as part of a group - facilitated and assessed. Content: Application of biomechanical principles to the understanding and analysis of selected sport or exercise activities. Quasi-static and inverse dynamics analysis. Data integration and differentiation. Inertia models, moment of inertia and angular momentum calculations. Sources of errors in biomechanical measurement The use of kinematic and kinetic analyses for enhancing understanding of technique in sporting and exercise activities. |
