Biomechanics

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Relate and attribute biomechanical concepts and terminology to relevant human movement analysis and equipment in sport situations;
2. Describe kinematics and kinetics properties of human movement and equipment, evaluating the physical impact human interactions with equipment and the environment;
3. Measure and derive kinematics and kinetics properties relevant to human movement and equipment in sport situations;
4. Summarise, substantiate and articulate appropriate biomechanical analysis techniques and processes that extract biomechanical properties in prescribed situations; and
5. Interpret, deduce and identify practical strategies to enhance physical and biomechanical performance across sporting and clinical populations.
