This unit builds upon content from previous units to extend your understanding of biomechanics as it relates to human movement. In this unit, you will explore areas of musckuloskeletal mechanics, biomechanics of locomotion, and the application of biomechanical principles to sports, and strength and conditioning. Through practical activities, you will develop skills necessary to conduct advanced biomechanical analyses as well as develop your ability to think critically about biomechanical data and research.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE Survey results

Students reported that considerable time was spent on explaining the technology being used during the Residential School, and felt that they would benefit more from more time spent 'hands-on'.

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator explore ways of encouraging early student engagement with the unit content, while investigating methods of delivering content on various technology prior to the Residential School.

Feedback from SUTE Survey results

Students reported that there was a considerable amount of weekly content to cover and felt that they would benefit from having content presentations split into shorter length presentations.

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator explore means of dividing the content presentations into a series of shorter presentations.

Feedback from SUTE Survey results and personal communication with students

Students reported that having all the unit content available on Moodle from the start of term was valuable in terms of being able to see the topics in advance, and plan workload accordingly.

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator continue to explore means of using Moodle to display and deliver content so that students can plan their workloads and engage in a non-linear fashion if desired.
