Integrated Human Movement Science and Analysis

Catalog description

This course reinforces and expands upon concepts in motor control, biomechanics, and kinesiology with the application to human movement. Relationships among kinematics, kinetics, mechanical properties of biological tissue, neuromechanics, muscle actions, and joint structure and function are discussed and applied. Principles that underlie the modification of these parameters to influence movement performance will be introduced. This course prepares students to begin to analyze, hypothesize and intervene regarding human movement in the context of the individual, task and environment.
