Human movement, in particular walking and running, is studied in some detail. The module starts by studying techniques used to measure motion and results from such measurements are then analysed. The module considers the action of a range of subjects from elite athletes to the disabled and looks at the differences in the motion. In the first part of the module, instrumentation used in the analysis of movement is described. The final part of the module is concerned with the analysis of the data and its interpretation.

On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. discuss the characteristics of the motions of running, walking and throwing;
2. describe various experimental techniques used in the analysis of human movement;
3. operate video analysis equipment and use a force plate;
4. analyse, interpret and discuss motion capture (video) and force-plate data;
5. discuss factors that influence the energy cost (and biomechanical characteristics);
6. discuss the factors that determine gait and gait transition;
7. demonstrate an understanding of the measurement of energy cost and force application in human movement;
8. demonstrate competence in retrieval, analysis and interpretation of data and published information.
A series of papers in PDF format will be made available to accompany some of the lectures.

of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
