Overview

Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles to living organisms. Topics covered in the biomechanics course include: the study and analysis of the mechanics of living organisms, the application of engineering principles and their derivation from biological systems, the study of forces acting on the limbs (organs), the aerodynamics of the flight of insects and birds, fluid mechanics in fish swimming and working on a preliminary estimate to solve biomechanics problems. Modeling human performance and assessing the overall load of the musculoskeletal system during functional activities as well as preliminary methods for estimating forces in joints and muscles and assessing the endurance of human tissues under heavy-duty load conditions. These subjects deal with a variety of biological systems, ranging from single cells to all organisms.

Intended learning outcomes

Intended learning outcomes of the course study.

Mathematical biomechanical specialist and academic researcher who has a distinctive knowledge of the laws of physics, statistics, anatomy, motor learning, human tissue and kinesiology. Have effective communication skills and deep thoughts. A sports biomechanics specialist can work as an academic researcher in a research center or as a specialist in a medical facility such as an orthopedic surgery center or in a sports science clinic. In addition, they can also work in their own practice. Moreover, sports biomechanics can also work with athletes in schools, universities or alongside Olympic athletes.

Teaching and learning methods

Teaching and learning methods.

The course will introduce the student to a combination of educational methods through lectures, student participation in panel discussions with brainstorming, in addition to practical applications, assignments, attending theoretical and applied lectures, and to increase understanding, lectures are delivered through electronic platforms using MS Teams.
