Module Aims
The aims of this module are to advance the students' understanding and application of the mechanics and energetics of muscle contraction and locomotion. Furthermore, to explore methods of measuring angular kinematics and kinetics, and how to analyse the associated data output, explain mechanics of deformable bodies (biomaterials) and to develop an understanding of rehabilitation after injury.
Content Summary
Students should be aware they may encounter ethical issues in learning and teaching while undertaking this module and should refer to either the Award Leader or student/module handbook(s) for further information.
The module will incorporate: Newton's laws of motion with respect to angular kinematics and kinetics; the mechanics and energetics of walking and running; theory of linear elastic and viscoelastic solids (stress, strain, strength, extensibility, stiffness, and toughness); structure and mechanics of tendon, ligament and bone; the biomechanics of sports injuries and associated healing process. Furthermore, students will develop technical competence and analytical skills using video analysis software.
