The Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study has been formulated as a dynamic online publication in order to provide the most up to date information possible. Master versions of the Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study incorporating all changes to date are archived twice a year on 1 September and within the first three University working days prior to the start of Semester 2 in January. Please note that some of the data recorded about this course has been amended since the last master version was archived. That version should be consulted to determine the changes made.

Sport Science 2C (U00109)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 8 ? Acronym : EDU-2-SpSciC

This course will continue work carried out in Sport Science 1Bh, particularly in the area of Sports Biomechanics and Information Technology. More advanced biomechanical principles and qualitative analysis methods will be used to examine human movement and sporting movements in field and laboratory settings. In the second part of the course the principles and use in sport science of general and specialised computer hardware and software will be covered.
