This course explores the application of biomechanical principles to sports and exercise. Students will gain a foundational understanding of how the human body responds and adapts to physical activity. The curriculum covers the analysis of movement, the mechanics of injury, and strategies for performance improvement. Through theoretical knowledge and practical application, students will learn to optimize athletic performance, reduce injury risks, and apply biomechanical principles in coaching and sports science settings.

At the completion of this course, the learner will be able to:

• Understand biomechanical concepts and their application to sports movement and performance..  InTASC 4
• Apply biomechanical analysis to evaluate and improve sports techniques and equipment design. InTASC 5
• Develop evidence-based strategies for injury prevention and performance enhancement in sports settings.  InTASC 7
• Utilize current technology and software in the analysis of movement and designing training programs.  InTASC 6
