| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered via research focused lectures (LO 1-3) and practical classes (LO 1-4) designed to develop your confidence in analysing a sporting or exercise technique. This allows you to be fully engaged in a practical sense to the theory using various up-to-date and relevant contexts and utilising the University's excellent Biomechanics related equipment and technological resources. You are encouraged to be hands on and assessment tasks associated with this module allow you to choose your own context to show your understanding of the theory. The integrated approach to biomechanics and learning allows you to expand your understanding of the nature of human movement during performance without restriction to a single discipline.
|
AssessmentYou will be asked to submit a research proposal (LO 2) and following discussion and feedback, will be asked to carry out hypothesis testing within the field of biomechanics based on this proposal (LO 3,4). The results will be presented and analysis made of the impact on performance based on the findings of the research. The project will be proposed in small groups and data collected as a group which form the formative part of the assessment, but you will complete the summative assessment task of presenting your data by yourself. This will take the form of a report, similar to the published studies you will read from peer reviewed literature.
|
AssessmentThis module will be assessed through a single summative assessment task which will involve you producing a report, in a scientific paper format of your study. The proposal and data collection will be carried out in small groups according to topic choice (see formative assessment) and following this, you will produce a scientific report comprising an introduction and rationale, methods, results and discussion of your study. This is to be completed on your own and accounts for 100% of the module mark.
