SHN4035 - Fundamentals in Human Movement

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

Musculo-skeletal structure and function: muscle mechanics, planes and axes of movement, anatomical reference points. Linear kinematics and kinetics. Work, power and energy concepts. Kinematics measurement techniques as well as training principles for the enhancement of performance variables, e.g. acceleration, velocity, impulse, power and force application. Qualitative analysis of movement.

Learning and Teaching Information:

Lectures
Hours: 10
Intended Group Size: Full cohort

Practicals
Hours: 15
Intended Group Size: 15 to 20

Guided independent study
Hours: 125

Further details relating to assessment

Assessment Title: Movement Analysis Project

Overview:
The Movement Analysis Project offers students the flexibility to demonstrate their understanding of biomechanical principles and movement analysis through either a recorded presentation / video or a written report. This assessment requires students to utilise Dartfish software to analyse a chosen movement, present their findings, and reflect on their analysis process.

Assessment:

001 Report, 1,500 words equiv; end of Sem 1 100%
