Course Outcomes

Course Purpose

Students will be able to analyze human movement mechanics and generate recommendations for improvement or intervention.

Physical Laws and Human Movement

Demonstrate understanding of physical concepts (linear and angular motion, and forces), and corresponding equations, related to human movement.

Application

Apply the aforementioned physical concepts to human movement mechanics.

Observation

Deconstruct movement mechanics via direct observation and video.

Literature

Evaluate biomechanical scientific literature.

Communicate

Communicate effectively regarding human movement mechanics.

Recommendations

Generate recommendations (as individuals and small teams) for human mechanics improvement or intervention.
