Overview

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 anatomyKnow possible fields of work for biomechanicsUnderstand how forces act in static and dynamic systemsUnderstand how bodies deform under stress and strainUnderstand how the human body is built mechanicallyKnow the most common tools used for motion analysis in the industryThe following topics will be covered in this course:DefinitionHow can we define the term biomechanics?What are the tasks of biomechanics and which fields of work are there?What are some practical examples for biomechanical problems?Basics Of Physics: MechanicsWhat do we need to know about the mechanics?How can we physically define parameters like the velocity, the force or the energy?What are the mathematical formulas to calculate those parameters?Statics Of The Human BodyWhat are Newton's laws are why are they important to understand?How can we calculate forces and moments in static systems?What and where is the center of gravity of a body?The Skeletal SystemWhat's the structure of bones and joints?What does "stress shielding" mean and why is it bad?How is the knee joint built and what's the biomechanical role of the patella?Stability & Resistance Of The Human BodyWhich types of loading and deformation are there?How can we define and calculate internal forces?How can we calculate the stress and the strain within objects?The Muscular SystemWhat's the structure and function of tendons and ligaments?Which types of muscle are there and how are they built?How do muscles contract and how does it affect force generation?Kinematics & Kinetics Of Human MovementWhat's the difference between kinematics and kinetics?How can we describe moving bodies?How can we calculate forces in dynamic systems?Motion Analysis: Tools & StrategiesWhat are the objectives of motion tracking?Which tools for the analysis of human movement exist in the industry?How can we further analyze data obtained from motion tracking systems?Of course, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee from Udemy.
