SPL103聽Anatomy and Kinesiology

Aims: This module aims to introduce students to the basic anatomical and physiological components and biomechanical principles underpinning the practical analysis of human movement. It will also consider the role of analysis in sport and in movement education. It will serve to widen the students’ knowledge base and show the integrative nature of the separate disciplines of physiology and biomechanics; it will also provide a firm basis for work at a higher level in the discipline of biomechanics

SPL300聽Independent project

Aims: The independent project provides an opportunity to apply appropriate knowledge, concepts, techniques and research methods of Sport and Exercise Sciences to an in-depth study of a particular question or problem related to sport, exercise or sports therapy. This module aims to foster a greater understanding of the processes to undertake a small scale research project, and marks the culmination of the students learning experience. The study will enable the student to produce a written research report.

MSCBM02聽Tissue Mechanics and Assistive Devices

Aims: This module aims to introduce students to the functional limitations of human body tissues and how they are derived from their mechanical properties. It will also consider the role of training in altering tissues function.聽 We explore the need for聽modelling聽to explore the musculoskeletal system as it is performing various tasks and discuss the advances that have aided in the design of both active and passive assisting devices used in sport.
