Undergraduate Course: Sports Biomechanics 4 (SPRT10030)

Course Outline
SchoolMoray House School of Education CollegeCollege of Humanities and Social Science
Credit level (Normal year taken)SCQF Level 10 (Year 4 Undergraduate) AvailabilityAvailable to all students
SCQF Credits20 ECTS Credits10
SummaryThe 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.
