MSc - Master of Science

Subject areas

Biomechanics Sports Studies

Course Summary

Our well-established MSc in Sport Biomechanics enables you to specialise in the physics of sport - the area of science concerned with the analysis of human movement.Through the measurement and simulation of movement, the degree facilitates a greater understanding of human performance in sporting and recreational activities. This understanding can then be used to improve performance and reduce injury risk.The programme contains cutting-edge content, ranging from experimental data collection, analysis techniques and equipment, through to the latest theoretical considerations and research problems.Throughout the programme you will benefit from access to a large designated teaching laboratory and use key pieces of biomechanics equipment, including Vicon motion analysis systems, force plates, wireless electromyography (EMG), and isokinetic dynamometers.

Modules

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.
