Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Students should have a basic knowledge background in human anatomy and physiology.
Knowledge of elementary biomechanics is also an asset.
Learning Outcomes
This course introduces the student to the basic concepts and principles underlying the organization and execution of human complex motor skills. After completion of the course studens should be able to:
Understand the complexity of human movement but also the unlimited capabilities of the human motor system has in acheiving the desired highly coordinated motor output required in sports.
Apply the acquired knowledge to the daily practice of teaching new motor skills and designing training regimens.
The course also helps in buidling the basic knowledge background for a more complete understanding of the material covered in other highly relevant courses such as motor learning and biomechanics.
The long term goal of the course is to capture the students' interest in motor control and inspire them into a more systematic search of problems and issues related to the control and learning of movement.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an international context
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Design and manage projects
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
