EXPH 3200 - Biomechanics
This course provides an understanding of basic biomechanical principles. This is an introduction to Biomechanics, and will cover such topics as basic kinematics, basic kinetics, biomechanics of human motion at different sites in the body, linear kinematics, angular kinematics, linear kinetics, angular kinetics, and human motion in a fluid medium.
Requisites: C or better in BIOS 2030 or (3010 and 3015)
