For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
You will be able to present and explain the physical and mathematical principles of the biomechanical description and explanation of human movements. You will be able to use motion analysis systems, thus developing methodological competence for collecting biomechanical data. You will plan and implement experimental verification of movement science questions. After completing the module, you will be able to assess the performance of biomechanical analysis and modeling methods and successfully apply your methodological knowledge to problems in movement science topics related to sports and technical systems.
In this module, you will acquire the biomechanical knowledge needed to describe and explain human movements. Based on fundamental physical concepts and theories, you will learn how to record and analyze movements using kinematic and dynamometric measurement methods. To do this, you will learn the fundamentals of dynamics and kinematics, as well as vector and matrix calculus. You will learn how to use a movement analysis system and use this knowledge to design a movement or behavioral science experiment and identify relevant movement parameters. You will conduct the experiment in small groups and evaluate the results together.

Fundamentals of Biomechanics
(lecture with exercises)
The coursework serves to practice a reflective and discursive attitude to the topics covered in the course and has a practising and deepening character with regard to the competences anchored in the module. An academic achievement is the completion of an assignment for practice purposes. Such tasks can be: the preparation of minutes of a meeting, an abstract of a short text, an essay, the preparation of a contribution to a meeting or a project presentation, the solving of application tasks, the moderation of a discussion group or similar. The following applies to all contributions: Students may be required to submit written contributions totalling a maximum of 2400 words or oral contributions totalling a maximum of 50-60 minutes in one course. |
