Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Describe human motion using accepted unambiguous terminology. 
  2. ​Identify specific causality of human motion in regard to external forces (e.g., gravity) and internal forces (various muscle actions, etc.). 
  3. Specify, based on established biomechanical factors, critical performance elements across a wide range of human movements/skills. 
  4. Develop an evaluative tool (checklist/rubric) for use in motion analysis of specific sport skills. 
  5. Develop a digital video resource to assist in the presentation/analysis of specific sport skills.
