About this Unit
In 2012 this unit replaced by 400889 - Applied Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise. This unit builds on the basic principles of Biomechanics that is presented in 400139 - Biomechanics and Kinesiology, applying this knowledge to the detailed biomechanical principles of human exercise performance. Biomechanics draws on many of the techniques and principles developed in other disciplines such as applied engineering and neuromuscular physiology. To fully understand the science underlying the optimisation of human movement, students require a comprehensive working knowledge of Biomechanics. This unit represents a theoretical and applied study of selected topics in Biomechanics. It will examine advanced methods and concepts in the biomechanical analysis.
