This course will cover research techniques in biomechanics using data capture equipment and provides a framework in which to analyse movement, force generation, and physiology through an understanding of Cartesian vector analysis, analytical methods and tools for the analysis of the human body. Students will be equipped to make quantitative measurements and apply the principles of biomechanics to measuring performance.
The course will cover a variety of biomechanical analysis and instrumentation topics such as skeletal anatomy, ergonomics, and exercise physiology. Methods for measuring and computing force and movement will be covered. Laboratory exercises will be used to demonstrate instrumentation including motion capture, force plates, electromyography (EMG), electrocardiography (ECG), heart rate monitors, accelerometers, and goniometers. Specific cultural exercises and examples will be used to allow for students to grow and apply their bicultural competence.
