| Description:
| Aims: To synthesise and apply scientific concepts in sport and exercise biomechanics and to appreciate the contribution of methodological advances in analysing human motion. Learning Outcomes: On completion of this unit students should be able to: * Demonstrate an understanding of the role of computational modelling techniques in the analysis of human motion. * Demonstrate an understanding of the role of muscle mechanics in the production of different types of human movement. * Demonstrate effective integration of written material in biomechanics. * Apply biomechanical knowledge in the construction of simple computer simulation models. Skills: Knowledge and Understanding - taught, facilitated and assessed * Intellectual Skills - facilitated and assessed * Written Communication - facilitated and assessed * Spoken communication - facilitated * Information Technology - taught and facilitated * Problem Solving - taught, facilitated and assessed * Data Acquisition, Handling and Analysis - taught and facilitated * Working Independently - facilitated and assessed * Working as part of a group - facilitated. Content: Contemporary issues in applying computational modelling techniques to human movement analysis; Critical analysis of different approaches to modelling human movement; Practical techniques in computer simulation modelling; Characterisation of muscle-tendon interactions during different types of locomotion; Modulation of muscle mechanics for different human motor outputs. |
