KNPE 153 Introductory Biomechanics Units: 3.00
This course will present the fundamentals of biomechanics of human movement, including forces and moments, linear and angular kinematics and kinetics, and work, power, and energy.
Learning Hours: 114 (36 Lecture, 6 Tutorial, 72 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite Registration in a KINE Plan.
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Define concepts governing rigid-body motion, including kinematics, forces, and moments.
- Use Newtonian's Laws to write and solve equations of motion of rigid bodies.
- Use the mechanical principles of rigid body motion in the context of human movement to quantify forces, moments, and resulting motion of the body as a whole, as well as its individual segments.
