Aim: This course is designed to provide students with practical knowledge of the musculomechanical bases of human movement and experience in applying that knowledge to the execution and evaluation of human performance.

Goals: At the completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of joint structure and function, muscular structure, and neuromuscular considerations.
2. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic mechanical concepts: kinematics (description of motion), and kinetics (determination of motion).
3. observe and describe a movement technique accurately.
4. determine anatomical and mechanical factors basic to performance of an observed movement.
5. evaluate the suitability of a performer's technique with reference to the task at hand.

Evaluation: Five unit examinations will be administered throughout the course. Laboratory write-ups are due a week after being conducted. Problems will be assigned regularly and must be submitted when due. A 20% penalty will be assessed for each day beyond the deadline. Items will be weighted as follows:

Unit Exams (5) 55%
Homework Problems 15%
Kinesiology Laboratories 30%

Grading Criterion: Grades will be based upon percentage of points earned accordingly:
