hello and welcome to module 1 for the

course human movement science let's look

at some of the learning outcomes and the

modules that we'll be learning

throughout the course so human movement

science the way we we've designed the

course is broken down into eight modules

across your eight weeks and the first

module we'll be looking at introduction

to human movement science so we'll

understand the field the area of study

what constitutes within the area of

studies some of the key subjects like

biomechanics Kinesiology functional

Anatomy um and some other areas of data

Sciences so the module two uh consist of

human body so we'll be looking at some

of the key aspects in the human body

body the Key Systems that govern us to

move like the skeletal system muscular

skeletal system and the neuromuscular

system module three on the other hand

we'll be looking at functional Anatomy

so now that we have understood what the

human body consist of comprises of and

what systems are responsible for

movement how exactly do they coordinate

how what generates movement what creates

movement and what exactly happens in

module 4 we we'll be looking at

biomechanics which is an area of study

within itself for human movement science

so we'll be looking at the key roles um

that biomechanic plays to understand

human movement science and the

principles within biomechanics let's

look at each of these modules

individually and some of the learning

key learning outcomes that we will be

addressing in each of these modules so

as we spoke about introduction to human

movement science is we'll be looking at

the area of study

um the broad field and what governs

human movement science we'll be looking

at the integrated Fields within human

movement science we'll be looking at the

significance and application so where

all could you use the science that we

study the theories the principles the

examples how you can apply for example

in sport uh for healthcare and

well-being so we'll be looking at all of

that we'll also be looking at the

professional skill set development so

what skills would you develop from this

course what will it enable you to do

where can you apply these you know and

um what are some of the other courses

that you can then go on to pursue before

we do all of that we'll also be looking

at the background knowledge that you

require to study this course um

extensively so little bit of Prior

learning maybe in basic mathematics we

will also be providing you resources for

um all of these um Preparatory material

that you might require for this course

uh let's do that again so we will be

providing you resources um as articles

or books that you can read or some

Preparatory material in terms of see

basic maths that you might require for

this course and um that will contribute

to you prepping for the course we'll

also be looking at some industry experts

within the banner of human movement

science so you'll be hearing a lot from

coach es you might hear from Sports

Medicine uh professionals you might also

hear from some sports scientist or a

biomechanist to understand how they use

and they see the view and the role of

human movement science in their

day-to-day professional lives so how

would they um employ the principles that

we study so how they collaborate with

each other to solve a common problem

module two we'll be looking at the human

body we'll looking at the skeletal

system the muscular system and the

nervous system so we'll be looking at

how these systems are designed the

nature of the bones muscles and the

nerves that allow us to move how do

these systems come together for um

harmonious functioning to cause movement

so we'll be looking at that as well

briefly also we'll be getting into an

area of study itself which is motor

control so motor control will allow us

to understand where does learning happen

for the movement where does it originate

how do we learn so do we learn the skill

first you know how do we go on to make

it better and put our own little um

signature into it so we'll be looking at

all of that under motor control and

motor learning will also be looking at

these motor skills or the motor areas in

the brain how do they coordinate to

produce movement further moving on to

module three we'll be looking at

functional Anatomy so you'll be learning

a lot of theory in this module which is

key to understanding movement this is

exactly where it starts with the human

body understanding what an anatomical

position is so what's our Ground Zero

what do we relate it back to the

directions So speaking the common

language between professionals you need

to understand how do we address

directions and also understand the

reference systems so where is the

movement occurring how exactly can we

Define it so that you know when you are

defining it and another professional is

defining it you're all on the same page

hence we require the reference systems

then we'll be moving on to bones and

joints and movement so what causes

movement how does movement occur

anatomically and the muscles and bones

that come together so how exactly does

that happen so we'll be looking at

posture analysis as well what's a normal

posture what's altered what causes a

good and a bad posture and how important

it is for us to have a good posture

we'll also be looking at the

implications of functional anatomy in

human movement science so now that we've

looked at bones muscles how exactly we

move what causes movement we'll be

looking at how all of these things put

together helps us understand human

movement science module four we'll be

diving into biomechanics for human

movement science so biomechanics is an

area of study in itself we'll be going

through the scope the application the

significance so what's the potential of

the entire field to study the movement

within biomechanics it will be divided

into kinematics and kinetics what's the

study within it which is looking at the

kinematic principles to study movement

and then also looking at the kinetic

principles has got to do with Force

energy work for example to study

movement so from our first four modules

all the theortical modules you've

learned biomechanics Kinesiology

functional anatomy and how exactly

movement occurs from module five we will

be looking at what tools techniques any

technology that we can use to understand

the movement occurring so module six

we'll be looking at applications of

human movement principles

using these tools and the concepts that

we've studied to fundamental movement

skills that are absolutely essential for

movement which you can call as movement

ABCs and also a few common exercises and

then we dive into specifically gate

analysis so what is gate how it's

extremely crucial to have a good gate

for an athlete as well as any kind of

physical activity module 7 we look at

applications of human movement science

principles in sport so now that we've

looked at all of these fundamental

movements in exercise and gate we go

dive specifically into sports science

aspect of it which is applying all of

these principles that we study to

sporting

skills and in the last module which is

module 8 we'll be looking at the

integrated disciplines that we've looked

in the introduction uh chapter or

introduction module and we're looking at

how these strengthen our scope and how

we can

collaborate um to further enhance the

state of art of human movement science

so looking at module five in detail um

we'll be looking at the different types

of analysis which is qualitative

quantitative um tools and techniques

Within These analysis to study human

movement so we'll also be looking at

computer simulation muscular skeletal

modeling and EMG techniques as well to

study movement module six we'll be

diving into applications of human

movement principles so we'll be looking

at how do we apply all of these all of

these principles that we've studied in

the previous modules to fundamental

movements to exercises and to Gates so

we'll be looking most importantly from a

coaching point of view so for the

coaches if there are any coaches in this

courses or athletes it's beneficial to

you both or any other sports science

professionals to understand what is what

is the coaching view or what how does

coaching science for example help us

understand the mot motor skills and how

we can analyze these fundamental

movements and the major exercise

movements and gate and identify the key

performance and the injury patterns that

are within this movement so that we can

enhance performance and prevent injuries

module 7 we'll be looking at the same

principles but now applied to different

sports so we'll looking at how sport

sport can be categorized differently

according to the movement

characteristics of the skills that are

within the sport so we'll looking at

upper body dominant sport we looking at

lower body dominance sport maybe

co-dominant sport for us to understand

the finer details of the movement and

look at the biomechanical patterns that

are related to Performance and also

related to injury prevention or

management in those sport quite specific

speically we'll be also diving into two

case studies where we'll be applying all

of our knowledge that we have gained

from the first six seven modules to the

specific sport which is tennis and

Cricket so we'll be looking in tennis

we'll be looking specifically at the

tennis serve and in cricket we'll be

looking at Cricket fast bowling so right

from your movements that are happening

at these skills to phasing analysis

which you will learn further in module

six to the performance and the injury

patterns that are underlying in the

tennis serve and the cricket fast

bowling module 8 we'll be looking at

integrated disciplines uh and the

opportunities in human movement science

so it's extremely uh important for us to

understand what disciplines are

complimentary what are supplementary how

we can come together and collaborate to

broaden our scope of understanding and

to also Advance the Cur state of

knowledge that is there in the

literature and that will allow us to

then look at research in human movement

science so we'll very quickly touch base

on what uh research areas are currently

up and coming in human movement science

how you can apply research how you can

conduct research and some of the ethics

protocols for research as well in the

area we'll also be looking at the scope

of human uh human movement science to

look at Specialized population as well

as well for example um polio patients or

um stroke Rehabilitation so the

potential of human movement science to

understand and to help better handle

injury

management and the last not last but not

the least we'll be closing off with

career opportunities in human movement

science so that gives you a good

understanding of now that you've learned

all of these modules and you've gone

through this um journey of understanding

what human movement science is

understanding the techniques how do you

identify performance patterns and how do

you identify injury patterns we'll be

looking at where what kind of work

opportunities you can look for what kind

of um work areas you can um you know be

employed in uh let's do that again so we

look at career opportunities in human

movement science where we'll be looking

at what are the work areas or work

places that you can apply and take it up

as a career where do you move on from

here and what are the additional courses

that you can understand and do um for

good career opportunities in the field

of human movement

science so the learning outcomes just to

have a quick summary of what we spoke

about by the end of eight modules you

should have a good understanding of the

area of uh study human movement science

its scope potential and future uh also

understand the human body systems that

govern movement that make movement

happen and mechanical understanding of

movement where we talk about

biomechanics and the biomechanical

patterns uh an athlete through the lens

of athlete through the mechanical lens

we'll also be looking at integration of

human movement science hopefully you'll

have a good idea with the area of

studies scope and opportunities and

career opportunities in human movement

science as

well
