Summary | The aim of this course is to expose the student to the advanced principles and methods underpinning research in sports biomechanics. The mathematics of segmental motion will be used to illustrate the mechanics of sporting movements using both Newtonian and Lagrangean approaches. The different methods for the collection of biomechanical data will be discussed, and the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques will be analysed. Future directions and trends in sports biomechanics will also be examined. |
