Description
GET TO KNOW THE BIOMECHANICS OF THE HUMAN BODY BY COMBINING THE PHYSICS WITH THE ANATOMY!
In this course, we apply mechanical principles to the musculoskeletal system in order to understand, analyze and optimize human movement.
In other words, we combine the human anatomy with the mechanics, forming the interdisciplinary science called biomechanics. So whether you are a doctor, a trainer or an athlete and know the human body or you are an engineer or a physicist and know the mechanics, this course is going to help you understand the other side of the puzzle.
If You Are Curious And Want To Pursue A Career In Biomechanics, Check Out This Course.
As a studied biomechanist myself, I study the science of human locomotion and find ways to analyze and optimize movements. This course contains lots of valuable scientifically proven knowledge that I have gained over the years studying and working in the field of biomechanics, put together into 60+ lectures and 3.5 hours of content. Let me share it with you!
I will take you through all the important matters related to the biomechanics, from the principles of mechanics (statics, elastostatics, kinematics & kinetics), all the way to the structure and functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Throughout this course, we will talk about practical examples, so you'll get a better idea of possible applications for biomechanics in the industry.
After finishing this course, you will be able to:
Understand the basics of the mechanics as well as the anatomy
Know possible fields of work for biomechanics
Understand how forces act in static and dynamic systems
Understand how bodies deform under stress and strain
Understand how the human body is built mechanically
Know the most common tools used for motion analysis in the industry
