PED-605      Sports Bio-Mechanics

This course is a graduate level course of M.Sc. Physical Education. Biomechanics in Sport incorporates detailed analysis of sport movements in order to minimize the risk of injury and improve sports training equipments and techniques. This course also provides a great understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modelingcomputer simulation and measurement, and enabling the learners/athletes to pursue their potential to highest level.

DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

This course intends to develop fundamental mechanical concepts and Principles, which govern human movement, and the effect of forces which act on human body while moving on land, in water or in the air.  This course presents the in-depth study in functional anatomy and mechanics of human movement

 

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the successful completion of the course the Student understands will be enhanced regarding the integration of anatomical and mechanical aspects of human motion like

  • Expert knowledge on the roles of physical activity and sports exercise in rehabilitation.
  • The means and techniques to ensure athletes and sports people can perform to their maximum capacity whilst limiting the injury process.
  • The ability to use your skills and knowledge to successfully increase your level of integration of sport, biomechanics, exercise medicine and rehabilitation within your respective profession or discipline. 
  • The skills and knowledge to undertake a substantive research project in specialty. Students will gain new insights and also the foundations for studying for a higher research degree.
