Looking At The Sport Pages

 

Pedagogical Considerations

Pedagogy

This section of the web site is dedicated to the sharing of ideas, strategies, and methodologies that will enhance and foster the teaching and learning of biomechanics concepts. This section will also provide a forum for the exchange of ideas with respect to current trends, philosophy and/or direction of the discipline areas of biomechanics in physical education, exercise science, sport, and dance. The materials posted under   Pedagogical Considerations was submitted by Biomechanics Educators and Researchers from across the country.

Sports Modules

The Sports Modules section provides laboratories experiences and sample video clips for both Qualitative Assessments and Quantitative Assessment of specific sport skills. The video clips may be down loaded for class use. The materials available in this area were developed by Ursinus College faculty and students with equipment attained through an National Science Foundation Grant

 

Biomechanics Laboratory Exercises

The purpose of this section was to enhance the learning of biomechanics concepts through activities that are fun, challenging and foster critical thinking. The laboratories exercises presented in this section were also submitted by colleagues from around the country, who were invited to share their favorite biomechanics lab exercises. The information is available under Biomechanics Lab Manual.
