This course offers a comprehensive exploration of human movement analysis, combining methodologies and insights from biomechanics, applied physiology, and neurophysiology. Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in evaluating human movement through advanced tools and techniques.
The course emphasizes a hands-on approach, guiding students through the entire research process—from developing a rationale grounded in scientific literature to designing and conducting experiments, interpreting results, and producing professional research reports.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Group-based evaluation of a science communication video presenting research findings + individual contributions to the semester-long project & experimental skills.
Group presentation of the research project and findings to peers and scholars.
Submission of a scientific article-style report on the experiments.
– Basic exercise physiology and biomechanics
– Field and laboratory assessment – tests in applied physiology, neurophysiology and biomechanics
– Research methodology & Statistics
