Basic Biomechanics (4th ed.). St. Louis: McGraw Hill. Course Description: Quantitative and qualitative analyses of human movement. Emphasis on the application of principles of human movement, with consideration of functional anatomy, kinesiology and mechanical concepts, to exercise, sport and activities of daily living. Course Learning Goals/Objectives: The student should be able to: 1. Use concepts of kinematics and kinetics to analyze human motion; 2. Understand the laws of motion and determine the cause of motion; 3. Apply mechanical relationships to explain human movement; 4. Understand joint function and structure; 5. Understand muscular function; 6. Observe and describe movement techniques; 7. Determine anatomical and mechanical factors basic to performance of observed movements; and 8. Identify factors which limit performance and establish a priority for change in those factors most likely to lead to improvement. Student Outcomes (TExES Standards Addressed) [Units of Relevant Work to Measure Standard]: at the end of this course the student will be able to: 1. Demonstrate and understand a variety of human movement skill competencies and help students develop these skills (1.1k, 1.2k, 1.3k, 1.6k, 1.8k, 1.1s, 1.2s, 1.6s). 2. Understand principles and benefits of developing physically active lifestyles and utilize motivation strategies that inspire students to participate and value physical education for life (2.1k, 2.4k, 2.2s). 4. Use knowledge of how students learn and develop to provide opportunities that support students’ physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development (4.7s) 6. Use effective, developmentally appropriate instructional strategies and communication techniques to prepare physically educated individuals (6.8k, 6.5s, 6.7s, 6.12s) Student Outcomes (NASPE/NCATE Standards Addressed) [Units of Relevant Work to Measure Standard]: at the end of this course the student will be able to: NASPE-INI.1 Content Knowledge; The teacher understands physical education content, disciplinary concepts, and tools of inquiry related to the development of a physically educated person.
