Human movement and gestures in sports are generally optimized to obtain a high performance. Athletes adopt particular strategies to obtain resistance, force, precision or power. Sports biomechanics studies gesture and movement execution both by measurements and modelling to describe it and to determine its crucial characteristics. This approach is of interest in general biomechanics also, and it can be exported in different fields.
Knowledge of experimental methods and analytical and numerical techniques for the study of human movement with particular reference to sports activities. Ability to analyze simple motor gestures by integrating models and measurements. Ergonomics elements.
Student will familiarize with systems and methods for measurement of human movement and of associated forces, in sports. She/he will be able to use dynamic simulation environments applied to biomechanics. She/he will understand the integration of measurement data and biomechanical models for a quantitative study of sports activities.
Combination of lectures and laboratory activities
Modelling and simulation of human movement
Biomechanical measurements
Analysis of motion gestures and sports activities
Elements of ergonomics

The final examination is based on:
Evaluation will consider the ability to synthesize information in order to apply methods to a specific test case. Beside that, ability to think critically will be evaluated considering the discussion of obtained results and possible future developments.
The open question aims to evaluate methods comprehension. A proper engineering / biomechanical language and terminology is required
