About Study Course

Objective

Provide practical knowledge of the dynamic anatomy of human movements in the context of sport. The emphasis is on the sport’s more common movements – standing, gait, running, jumps, pushing, lifting heavyweights and throwing. Muscles and joints in movement phases, errors in technique and injury risks are looked at, with the aim of improving training efficiency and athlete safety.

Preliminary Knowledge

  1. Anatomy (basic course acquisition)
  2. basic knowledge of sports biomechanics
  3. basic knowledge of pedagogy and training science
  4. requires knowledge of the English language at a sufficient level to read the scientific literature of the sector indicated in the course bibliography, as well as to successfully acquire the terminology used in the course in English.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.Explains the anatomical and biomechanical basis of human movements.
