Core Module Information
Module title: Intermediate Biomechanics (Singapore)
SCQF level: 09:
SCQF credit value: 20.00
ECTS credit value: 10
Module code: SES09709
Module leader: Steven Young
School School of Applied Sciences
Subject area group: Sport Exercise and Health Science
Prerequisites

Requisites: Pre-requisite: [Module SES08705] Introduction to Biomechanics [Singapore]
Description of module content:

This module focuses on the description, analysis, and understanding of methods for measurement of human movement in both a sporting and exercise context. This involves understanding the principles and techniques of movement description, including linear and angular kinetics and kinematics. Understanding of these concepts will be enhanced by the use of state-of-the-art equipment within the biomechanics laboratory and will include the use of force plates and 3D motion capture.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Explore the application of mechanical principles to increase the effectiveness of complex sporting or exercise movements.

LO2: Measure, demonstrate and apply the forces affecting human movement diagrammatically.

LO3: Explore and explain the application of biomechanical theory to practical sporting and exercise situations.
