| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The aim of this module is to develop students’ ability to analyse and evaluate human movement from a kinematic perspective using both qualitative and quantitative methods. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Analyse and interpret a selected movement using a systematic qualitative approach. |
| 2 | Analyse and interpret a selected movement using a systematic quantitative approach. |
| 3 | Evaluate technique using qualitative and quantitative methods. |
| 4 | Critically evaluate qualitative and quantitative approaches to technique analysis. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Observation of movement; systematic models of qualitative technique analysis; deterministic models of technique analysis; principles of movement (position, orientation, velocity, acceleration, force production); quantitative analysis of performance; accepted 2D filming protocols; Quintic biomechanics software; comparison to model proformas; assessment of reliability; justification of methods. |
