Learning objectives
The course provides knowledge in the basics of biomechanics, fluid mechanics, and their implications. The course provides an introduction to the theoretical foundations of analytical techniques and instruments in biomechanics used in sports. The course provides knowledge about the static and dynamic effects of forces involved in posture and movement, body behavior in relation to its barycenter, and polygon of support. The course covers the kinesiology of major body joints and human locomotion, and instruments for analyzing movement.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire the ability to resolve physics problems and quantitatively evaluate and estimate physical phenomena, to understand the physical parameters involved in movement and different types of sports, to resolve simple problems in sports biomechanics. Students will be able to analyze the movement of a human body in relation to solids mechanics: kinematics, statics, dynamics. Students will learn the essentials for understanding and interpreting kinesiological information for functional application to movement underlying human motricity. Students will be able to evaluate the efficiency of the effector system and static and dynamic postural response and to create a kinesiological project that illustrates form and control in physical exercise.
