Biomechanics

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Relate and attribute biomechanical concepts and terminology to relevant human movement and equipment in sport situations;
2. Exemplify and solve simple vector models that describe kinematics and kinetics properties of human movement and equipment in sport situations;
3. Measure and derive kinematics and kinetics properties relevant to human movement and equipment in sport situations;
4. Summarise, substantiate and articulate appropriate data quantification techniques and processes that extract biomechanical properties in prescribed situations; and,
5. Interpret, deduce and articulate the biomechanical features that differentiate conditions that affect the performance of humans and their interaction with equipment in sports situations.
