Aim of the course

The course aims to familiarize students with issues related to the mechanics of human body structure, its functioning as a biomass machine. The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge in the field of general biomechanics and the use of biomechanics in sport. Familiarization with biomechanical devices that may be used in the athlete's training process.

 

Prerequisites

General knowledge of biology and physics in the field of secondary school.

Scope

Lecture

Basic concepts of statics, kinematics, dynamics. Progressive and rotational movement of the human body. Biomechanical human model. Analysis of structural, geometric and energetic parameters of the human motion system. Operation of forces on the bone levers. The value of moments of forces and their changes in the function of joint angle. Propagation of biokinetic pairs. Degrees of freedom. Motion analysis based on kinograms. The use of photokinetry to analyze human motion. Characteristics of the active human motion system, functional assessment. Assessment of body posture. Man as a psycho-machine, control system, control of his own and foreign bodies. Motion control with feedback and simple. Learning to move. Biomechanics of safe human falls. The use of electrogoniometry and electromyography.

Laboratories

 Determination of the center of gravity of the whole human body and moment of inertia by direct and indirect method. The use of training simulators in sports training and recreational activities. Determining ground reaction forces and changing the height of the center of gravity lift during rebounding or performing a specific sports technique. Calculation of work, energy, power, momentum and impulse of strength during performing sports techniques. Making diagrams showing topographies of moments of muscle strength and comparison of representatives of various sports disciplines. Measurement of moments of muscle strength in the main joints of the upper and lower limbs. The use of biomechanical knowledge in the teaching of a chosen sports technique. Evaluation of the effectiveness of sports technique based on the film. Determining the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of motion technique in selected sports exercises. Neuromuscular coordination, movement habit, motion-learning phases. The use of training simulators to improve motor habits.

Teaching methods
