Sport Science 2C (U00109)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 8 ? Acronym : EDU-2-SpSciC

This course will continue work carried out in Sport Science 1Bh, particularly in the area of Sports Biomechanics and Information Technology. More advanced biomechanical principles and qualitative analysis methods will be used to examine human movement and sporting movements in field and laboratory settings. In the second part of the course the principles and use in sport science of general and specialised computer hardware and software will be covered.
