EXSC611 Ergonomics of Exercise
10 cp
Prerequisites EXSC320 Advanced Biomechanics or equivalent
Teaching Organisation 24 hours of lectures and 24 hours of laboratory per semester.
Functional movement is limited by the mechanical characteristics and structure of human body parts, as well as the design characteristics of facilities and equipment in sport, exercise, and everyday life. Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the human body is important to enable remedial treatment and advances in sport rehabilitation and injury prevention. Similarly, an understanding of ergonomics can reduce the incidence of sport injuries in recreational and elite athletes. This unit provides knowledge of technical, philosophical, and ethical issues related to client assessment and analysis, with a focus on the feedback process.
