Biomechanics is the study of movement from a mechanical perspective. In this introductory unit, special focus is given to sport techniques, exercise (lifting principles), gait (walking and running) and tissue mechanics. The basics of mechanics is integrated with the analysis of sporting, rehabilitation, and clinical and ergonomic movements from a biomechanical perspective. Biomechanics laboratories involve the integration of mechanical principles from an applied perspective, while the practical laboratories involve developing teaching skills and stroke competencies in aquatics. -- Course Website
