Understand The Science Behind Movement: Apply Mechanical Principles To The Musculoskeletal System Of The Human Body
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 to understand, analyze, and optimize human movement.
In other words, we combine human anatomy with classical mechanics, forming the interdisciplinary science known as biomechanics. Whether you come from a medical, sports, or health background and already understand the human body—or from an engineering or physics background and are familiar with mechanics—this course will help you understand the other side of the puzzle.
Interested in a Career in Biomechanics? This Course Is for You.
As a trained biomechanist, I study human locomotion and develop methods to analyze and optimize movement. This course brings together scientifically proven knowledge and practical insights I’ve gained over years of studying and working in the field of biomechanics.
The course includes 60+ lectures and over 3.5 hours of content, structured to give you a solid and comprehensive foundation in biomechanics.
I will guide you through all the essential topics in biomechanics—from the fundamental principles of mechanics (statics, elastostatics, kinematics, and kinetics) to the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Throughout the course, we’ll use practical examples to illustrate real-world applications of biomechanics in sports, medicine, and 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
