This unit introduces students to the major biomechanical factors that underpin human movement. Students will learn how to describe, analyse and evaluate human movement using basic biomechanical principles.
Online students are required to participate in two blocks of laboratory activities run over 2 - 5 days at the Joondalup Campus. South West Campus students are required to participate in two blocks of laboratory activities run over 2 - 5 days at the South West Campus.
Students must have passed MHS1101
Unit was previously coded SPS1102, SPS1113, SPS2103, SPS1116
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS
| Joondalup | Mount Lawley | South West (Bunbury) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 2 | 13 x 1.5 hour lab | Not Offered | Not Offered |
| Semester 2 | 13 x 2 hour lecture | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
Laboratory work is interactive, and students work in groups to consolidate material learnt. Students undertake activities involving the use of biomechanical concepts, equipment and software to critically analyse, interpret and solve complex movement situations. Students work with peers, anticipating challenges and generating solutions in exercise and sport science contexts, whilst developing teamwork skills. Activities are designed to prepare students for further study and future work in the area of exercise and sport science. Active participation in these laboratory activities is required to meet the participation criteria.
GS1 GRADING SCHEMA 1 Used for standard coursework units
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Due to the professional competency skill development associated with this Unit, student attendance/participation within listed in-class activities and/or online activities including discussion boards is compulsory. Students failing to meet participation standards as outlined in the unit plan may be awarded an I Grade (Fail - incomplete). Students who are unable to meet this requirement for medical or other reasons must seek the approval of the unit coordinator.
