LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT	At the end of this course, the students; 1) Can use the abilities gained from the courses like Statics, Fluid Mechanics, Strength of the Materials for understanding the behaviors of the living systems 2) Analyze and interpret human physiology and body movement with a biomechanical approach 3) Analyze the state of equilibrium/motion of a human body or parts 4) An ability to function on multidisciplinary subjects
MODE OF DELIVERY	Face to face
PRE-REQUISITES OF THE COURSE	No
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL PROGRAMME COMPONENT	None
COURSE DEFINITION	To make the students familiar with the main measurement and modelling methods for characterization of the musculuskeletal system, based on basic mechanical physics concepts and rigid body assumption. Increases the health science major's understanding of human movement and provides the foundation for critical analysis of physical activity and exercise. The approach includes the use of both quantitative and qualitative problems and applications that are designed to illustrate biomechanical principles.
