Anatomical, neuraland mechanical considerations in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of human movement are examined. Concepts related to the biostatics and biodynamics of linked segment models of human motion are introduced.
An introduction to the basic principles of scientific inquiry in Kinesiology. A systematic treatment of the logic and practice of methods and techniques employed in research related to physical activity with an examination of design, sampling, data gathering and analysis. Prereq: Kinesiology students only
KIN 335Evaluation of Human Motor PerformanceW,S 3C,2L 0.5
The nature and methodology of assessment is reviewed from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Taxonomies of motor performance are examined and principles developed for the measurement of specific construction in field and laboratory situations.
