This unit provides advanced knowledge and experiences for students in qualitative and quantitative methods for analysing human movement and biological and non-biological materials. Students will apply the principles of biomechanics to critically analyse and report on variables central to selected strength and conditioning exercises. In particular, students will develop skills in the use of video movement analysis methodologies, effective instructional feedback involving biomechanical and performance technique analysis.
SPS4110
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
This unit will be delivered using technology-enhanced learning. Students will be required to access and use a variety of digital learning materials to prepare for and engage in activities related to applied biomechanics. Learning activities and assignments will develop communication and analytical abilities of students as well as providing opportunities to discover, discuss and apply theory in a meaningful context. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required readings, listening to recorded lectures and completing assignments related to applied biomechanics within Blackboard.
