Core Module Information
Module title: Introduction to Biomechanics [Singapore]
SCQF level: 08:
SCQF credit value: 20.00
ECTS credit value: 10
Module code: SES08705
Module leader: Steven Young
School School of Applied Sciences
Subject area group: Sport Exercise and Health Science
Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added
Description of module content:

The module will cover primarily linear kinematics and kinetics in the context of sport, exercise, and health. Within the topic of kinetics, you will explore and develop insight into Newton's laws, moments of inertia, centre of gravity, friction. Within the topic of kinematics, you will explore and develop insight into velocity, acceleration, projectile motion, mechanical work, power, energy. You will develop an understanding of these topics and be able to apply these to practical contexts.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Develop insight into the mechanics of human movement.

LO2: Select and report on kinematic and kinetic theory in the context of sport and exercise situations.

LO3: Distinguish the resultant outcomes of forces in sport and exercise situations.

LO4: Develop an insight into methods of data collection and analysis using biomechanical equipment and into methods of reporting and illustrating experimental data.
