HLPE2504 has been successfully completed

To fully understand the science supporting the performance of human movement physical educators and sport coaches require a comprehensive working knowledge of Biomechanics and Skill Learning. This topic investigates processes involved in both the control and the learning of skilled movement. Students will gain theoretical and practical understanding of the biomechanical principles of movement and skill learning principles.

The topic aims to provide the opportunity to develop an understanding of:

biomechanical and skill learning principles
how biomechanics and skill learning relate to skill performance
the personal, task and environmental factors that influence skilled performance
associated pedagogical implications and issues

At the completion of this topic students are expected to:

qualitatively and quantitatively analyse fundamental movement skills using principles of biomechanics
describe the important principles of skill learning
summarise the personal, task and environmental factors influencing skill learning using a constraints-led approach
describe the pedagogical implications and issues related to enhancing skill learning and performance
qualitatively analyse a sport skill using biomechanical and skill learning principles
