This course provides students the opportunity to study advanced techniques in the analysis of mechanical factors related to human movement. Specific areas of human movement include: sports, aquatics, ergonomics, rehabilitation, disability sport, exercise/fitness, and gait. Students gain an understanding of the mechanical and anatomical principles that govern human motion and develop the ability to link the structure of the human body with its function (motion, rotation, force, etc.) from a mechanical perspective.
