EDO2462 Biophysical Foundations of Physical Activity (FOEDU)

Units 1.0 (Education Studies) Band 5

Synopsis

The philosophy underlying this course is that there is knowledge base that is important for a myriad of specialised areas of interest, such as movement education, health education, fitness, physical therapy, rehabilitation and even medicine. In response to this philosophy, this course provides the undergraduate student with an introduction to the relationships between functional anatomy, mechanics of movement, movement control and metabolic responses to various levels of activity and exercise. The key elements within these sub-disciplines are explored to provide grounding in the principles on which movement is based.
