Course Purpose and Content

Course Objectives: Bu ders, biyolojik sistemlerin mekanik prensiplerini anlamayı sağlayarak, insan vücudu gibi karmaşık yapıların hareketini ve etkileşimlerini incelemeyi amaçlar.
Öğrenciler, biyomekanik prensiplerini kullanarak spor performansını artırmak, yaralanma riskini azaltmak ve rehabilitasyon süreçlerini iyileştirmek için pratik uygulamalar geliştirmeyi öğrenecekler.
Dersin sonunda, öğrencilerin biyomekanik kavramları hakkında temel bir anlayışa sahip olmaları ve bu bilgileri sağlık, spor veya mühendislik alanlarında kullanabilecekleri becerileri kazanmaları hedeflenmektedir.
Course Content: Ders, biyomekanik temelleriyle başlar ve insan hareketinin analizi ve modellemesi üzerine odaklanır. Ardından, biyomekanik prensiplerinin sağlık, spor ve mühendislik alanlarındaki uygulamaları incelenir. Öğrenciler, bu bilgileri pratik projeler ve uygulamalarla pekiştirirken, gerçek dünya problemlerini çözme becerilerini geliştirirler.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Biyomekanik prensipleri kullanarak insan hareketini analiz edebilme yeteneği geliştirilir.
