KIN 383 - Biomechanics Initially, basic biomechanical principles underlying efficient movement are explored and applied to fundamental physical skills and sport. The second part of the semester is focused on the biomechanics of musculoskeletal injury. Knowledge of physics will make the course more meaningful, but it is not required. Use of mathematical formulae is limited. Material mechanics including forces, collisions, bending and rupture of tissue. Center of gravity will be estimated by different formulae, and gait will be explored during both walking and running.
Credits: 3 Terms Offered: Spring Prerequisites: KIN 300 Corequisites: KIN 383L
