Course Description: A study of Human Movement as it relates to sports activities. The Course will introduce the Laws of Physics and Basic Human Anatomy. It will emphasize the synthesis of mechanics and anatomy in order to understand and apply these concepts to performance and the development of skill.
Text: McGinnis, P. Second Edition. (2005). Biomechanics of Sports and Exercise.
Goals: To have knowledge and an understanding of the following:
- Fundamental Biomechanical concepts, principles and terminology.
- External forces, torque, work, power and energy.
- Linear and angular motion.
- Anatomical and physiological application.
- Biomechanical analysis
- "Dartfish", a computer program illustrating video-analysis of motion.

For the last 5 days, starting from the 25 Oct to 29 Oct, I was attending the above course at National Sports Institute (ISN), Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. The course gave me alot of insides on the need to incorporate video-analysising and improving the way I could do coaching in my specific field.
I had a lot of fun studying, doing the practical (for video-analysis motion) at the Biomechanic Lab and class - group presentation (after analysizing the motion).
This course is a must for all levels of coaches, who have the interest of the athletes in their heart and sports their passion to improve.
