Biomechanics 1

Undergraduate

An introduction to the biomechanics of human movement, including kinematics and kinetics of the musculoskeletal system and mechanics of muscle contraction. Practical examples from sport, rehabilitation and the workplace will be discussed. The lab component will demonstrate these concepts and introduce methods used to quantify the mechanical aspect of human motion. (3h lab). Prerequisite(s): BKIN students only, KINE 1213 and KINE 1413. Corequisite(s): KINE 2030L.
