Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers basic functional anatomy and biomechanical concepts in relation to human movement. This paper provides opportunities for the development of skills, attributes, and knowledge on how to observe, understand, and assess human movement. The functional anatomy component addresses muscles, bones, joints, and motion of the different parts of the human body, as well as common injuries and pathologies to these areas. The biomechanics component addresses kinematics and kinetics, determinants of movement, video analysis and applied biomechanics principles in the context of Health, Sport and Human Performance.

This paper includes one 2-hour (in class) lecture (A04 - Toi Ohomai Windermere Campus) and one 2-hour (in class) laboratory session per week (Toi Ohomai Sports Science Laboratory).The laboratory sessions are designed to complement your lecture material and associated textbook notes.

Lecture recordings and PowerPoint slides will be made available on moodle to students each week. It is encouraged that students attend all lectures and laboratory sessions in-person.

Workload

Edit Workload Content

This paper has an expected workload of 150 hours across the semester (approximately 12.5 hours per week). There are 4 contact hours per week (2 hours lectures, 2 hours of laboratories); therefore, students should plan to spend around 8 hours each week on readings, assignments, revisions, and independent study.
