Annotation -
The course is designed as a specific part of human biomechanics with a specific focus on physical and sports activities. The course will introduce students to the theoretical basis of the musculoskeletal system of the human body and to the basics of evaluation and description. Furthermore, the course focuses on the movement aspect of the human body with a focus on sports movements both from the point of view of kinematics and from the point of view of force production and force action. Part of the course is the interaction of the human body with the environment during physical activity, including muscle activities. Last but not least, the course also includes body replacement during sports activities, including specific examples.

Aim of the course -

 The student acquires basic orientation and knowledge in the field of biomechanics of physical activities with an emphasis on sports activities. The student is able to define the basics of the locomotor system of the human body and the basics of its evaluation and description. The student is able to specify the interactions of the human body with the environment during physical activity, force action and production of forces including muscle activities
