| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The aim of this module is to develop students' ability to analyse and conceptualise human movement and control through needs identification, data collection, evaluation and theories of skill acquisition. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Explain mechanical characteristics associated with successful execution of a movement task. |
| 2 | Collect and process quantitative and semi quantitative data associated with a movement task. |
| 3 | Conduct an analysis of a movement task and relate to normative data. |
| 4 | Apply skill acquisition theory to the enhancement of a movement task. |
| 5 | Demonstrate the necessary professionalism through attendance at learning opportunities required for safe practice. |
