Applied Sport Biomechanics

The Applied Sport Biomechanics module (SPOR10042) equips students with theoretical and practical biomechanical principles that underlie contemporary issues and current practices in biomechanics.  Students will explore biomechanical measurement techniques (such as electromyography, kinematics, kinetics, and portable/wearable devices) applied to human movement analyses within an injury prevention (e.g. gait analysis and landing mechanism) and performance (e.g. running, golf, etc.) context.

On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:

• Critically assess biomechanical principles applied to sport biomechanics and performance by evaluating the literature
• Apply biomechanical measurement techniques using computer biomechanical models and cutting-edge software to investigate and analyse human movement

This is an SCQF Level 10 module and upon successful completion, participants will be awarded 20 credits.
