ATR 445 Athletic Training Biomechanics Laboratory

1 Credit

This laboratory course for ATR 440, Athletic Training Biomechanics, examines the physical characteristics of bone, muscle, and joints as well as the normal and abnormal movement of the human body in relation to forces acting upon it. Through this study, the student gains an in-depth knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy. Application of physics to movement constitute the underlying tone for the entire course. The use of Newton’s Laws as a means to describe and analyze movement is also studied. In addition, students learn about the latest innovations in motion analysis equipment.
