Students will be involved in a practical laboratory to:

•

Learn principles of biomechanics and skill acquisition (i.e. stages of learning, skill type)

•

Observe, analyse and report on the running technique of three fellow students

•

Compare digital footage of a student to other students and that of an elite performer

•

Apply biomechanical principles in the field to modify a basic movement pattern

•

See technology used by elite coaches to analyse and maximise athlete performance
