Module Aims

To enable students to construct and question a conceptual understanding of the analysis of sports performance,
with particular emphasis on technique analysis and performance analysis. An underpinning rationale for the use of
systematic observation techniques in the analysis of sports performance will also be considered.

Content Summary

Measurement of human movement

• Quantitative and qualitative biomechanical analysis to assess sports technique and screen athletes
• Isokinetic dynamometry
• Sports analytics (team and individual)
• Time-motion analysis in sport
• GPS and accelerometery monitoring
