Description
This course introduces students to the field of biomechanics. Students apply principles of linear and angular kinematics to whole body and segmental human movements, such as those encountered in gait, physical activity, and sport. Students learn how to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of human movement using methods encountered in kinesiology practice, such as pedometers and cameras. Related principles of kinetics are also introduced. This course is suitable for students pursuing careers in kinesiology, physical education, and allied health. A minimum of 6 hours of experiential learning is included in this course.
