EXSS 3020 - Biomechanics

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every Semester. Also offered evenings.

This course involves the study of the mechanical aspects that underlie human motion. Mechanical considerations include describing motion in terms of levers, linear and angular acceleration, velocity, and projectiles, and the determination of motion by studying force, inertia, mass, momentum, impulse, drag, lift, buoyancy, center of gravity and stability. Application of anatomical and mechanical principles is related to the improvement of performance in selected sports.

Co-requisite or Prerequisite: EXSS 2050 .
