Welcome - Introduction to Biomechanics PHYC 2610   Introduction to Biomechanics
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course provides an introduction to mechanical and analytical concepts applied to the study of biological systems, particularly human movements and tissues. It expands on the knowledge acquired in PHYC 1310, the mechanics as it applies to the human body. It deals with the muscle forces required for the different tasks, the role of the centre of mass in balance and motion and the stresses and strains endured by the different biological tissues.The primary goal of the course is to learn to apply basic mechanical concepts to human movements.
