Compulsory modules

Core Biomechanics (30 credits)

The aim of this module is for the student to apply classical mechanics to human motion and to develop the skills and understanding for 2D and 3D motion analysis to be able to collect, process, calculate, and interpret kinetic and kinematic data during dynamic sporting activities.

Theories and Methods of Analysis in Biomechanics (30 credits)

The aim of this module is for students to develop their skills and understanding of processing and analysing biomechanical data to appropriately answer a research question.

Developing Computer Models for Sports Biomechanics (15 credits)

The aim of this module is for students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to construct, evaluate, and optimise computer models of human movement.

Neuromuscular Function (15 credits)

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of neuromuscular function from the level of the muscle contractile filaments, through to whole-body human function, encompassing skeletal muscle and tendinous tissues, neural control of muscle contraction and joint mechanics, whilst also gaining practical skills assessing human neuromuscular function.

Research Project in Sport, Health and Rehabilitation (60 credits)

The aim of this module is for students to design, conduct and report on an original research study of an aspect of their MSc programme.
