HSC-451 Biomechanics

GER: WR (Writing-Research Intensive)
Prerequisite: HSC-210 or HSC-311, and any course carrying MR (Mathematical Reasoning) credit
Integrates the principles of biology and mechanics as they relate to human motion and includes analysis of energy transduction in human motion as it relates to posture, mechanical work and gravity. Course is split equally between lecture and laboratory applications. Students complete and present a motion analysis study related to human performance, energy transduction and their interdependence. 4 credits.
