Kinesiology Lab |
||
This laboratory course provides hands-on experience applying the principles of kinesiology and biomechanics to | |||
human movement. Students will conduct experiments and assessments to analyze joint actions, muscle function, | |||
and movement patterns during various physical activities. Lab activities include gait analysis, electromyography, | |||
motion capture, and force plate testing. Students will learn to use equipment and software for quantitative | |||
movement analysis, interpret kinematic and kinetic data, and relate findings to efficient and effective human | |||
motion principles. This course reinforces concepts from the kinesiology lecture through practical application and | |||
develops movement observation, analysis, and assessment skills. Co-requisite: EXS 300 Kinesiology |
