HUMAN BIODYNAMICS SEMINAR

KINES 115

Humans are capable of achieving astonishing performances in athletics, in work and in other extraordinary situations. These extraordinary performances often provide important insights into physiological processes and their limits. This course integrates information from biology, chemistry, psychology, mechanics, etc., to understand the factors that determine and limit human performance from the molecular level all the way up to whole body movement. The emphasis in the class is on using case studies to investigate physiological processes underlying movement, exercise, and performance.

KINES 308

Provides a comprehensive study of biomechanical foundations and principles underlying physical activity. Topics include musculoskeletal determinants of human movement, analysis of sports skills, feedback, and cueing techniques. Includes descriptions and applications of biomechanical concepts related to skillful movement, physical activity, and fitness.
