EXSC 365-Scientific Bases of Sport: Kinesiology

Welcome to Dr. Seeley's Exercise Science 365 website. The objective of this class is to help you better understand how mechanical principles affect everyday human motion, especially motion that is related to exercise and athletic performance. The concepts that we will discuss will include force, torque, linear and angular motion, fluid mechanics, and the mechanical properties of bone and muscle. The application of these physical laws to exercise technique, training, and injury will be examined.

Measurements: Many different biomechanical measurements can be recorded. In this class, you will learn more about various estimates of force and motion.

Principles: You will gain an increased understanding and appreciation for human motion and the forces that cause human motion. You will also better understand how various mechanical characteristics interact with each other, leading to an overall effect on the body.

Calculations: To better understand human motion and the forces that cause human motion, a simple understanding of algebra and trigonometry will be required.
