This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of applied scientific analysis of movement.
We shall examine the physiological, structural, and mechanical bases for human movement, with examples
drawn from sport and rehabilitation. Laboratory sessions will deal with both theoretical and applied aspects of
selected mechanical concepts. Lectures will concentrate on a scientific approach to mechanisms underlying
human movement and to strategies and practices of clinical and sport applications. The textbook for this course
is: McGinnis, P.M., Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise (2nd edition, 2005)
