生物力学硕士学位课程采用跨学科方法研究人体运动的机械方面，尤其侧重于步态，步态能量学和下肢损伤机制。学生将学习与人体运动力学，数据分析和处理以及人体运动的生理和神经肌肉方面有关的各种课程。在生物力学实验室中进行的研究集中于跑步的步态力学和能量学以及与跑步有关的过度使用伤害的机制。
An interdisciplinary approach to the mechanical aspects of human movement, with the particular focus on gait, gait energetics, and mechanisms for lower extremity injury. Part of a general program in human performance, the biomechanics major takes an interdisciplinary approach to the mechanical aspects of human movement. You'll research gait, gait energetics, and mechanisms for lower extremity injury, and graduate prepared for a career in the research and development of sports equipment or an academic research laboratory. As a biomechanics student, you'll take coursework in the other areas within human performance to understand the mechanical, neural, and physiological aspects of human motion and gain knowledge and skills in statistics, data processing, and biomechanical research design. You will select elective courses with approval from your advisor and have opportunities to assist with research in the Biomechanics Laboratory.
