KINE 2040U – Biomechanics


Biomechanics covers the core principles related to biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system. This course will introduce you to the field of Biomechanics. Human movement will be investigated using the laws of physics and mechanics to understand how the body generates forces and moments to act on the external environment, causing motion. This course will discuss Biomechanics via its applications to enhancing sports performance, ergonomics, athletic equipment design, prosthetics development, protective equipment and rehabilitation. In addition to lectures, there will be practical laboratory experiences that use video and computerized biomechanical analysis techniques to study and understand human motion.
