Biomechanics

Biomechanics: The use of the mechanical principles of physics and engineering to study human motion and the mechanical properties of biological tissues.

Sports Biomechanics: The study of movement in sporting situations.

Occupational Biomechanics: The study of movement in work environments.

Clinical Biomechanics: The study of movement in rehabilitation settings.

Neuromechanics: Interactions between the nervous system and mechanical properties of the body.

Motor Control: To understand how movements of the human body are controlled and executed, and how motor skills develop through the lifespan and are acquired through practice.

Sports Medicine: The prevention and treatment of injuries and disorders that are related to participation in sports.

Kinesiology: Investigating the mechanical, neurological, biochemical, physiological, and behavioral components of human movement.
