Description:

This course is an analysis of human movement, integrating knowledge of the skeletal, muscular, and neurological systems with the effects that gravity, friction, internal and external forces, and the laws of motion have on their functions. Topics presented include biomechanics of human bone, joint, and skeletal muscle; structure and function of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine; concepts of linear and angular kinematics and kinetics as applied to human motion; equilibrium and stability on land; and motion through a fluid medium of air or water. Included is the application of these factors to various types of physical skills. Prerequisites: One of the following combinations: 1) BIO 160 or BIO 201; or 2) one of these combinations (a) BIO 155 and BIO 155L; or (b) BIO 201, BIO 201L, BIO 202, and BIO 202L; or (c) BIO 360, BIO 360L, and either BIO 474 or BIO 484.
