FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCES School of BEHAVIOURAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES Strathfield (Mount St Mary) SEMESTER 2, 2019 EXSC120: Mechanical Bases of Exercise Science UNIT OUTLINE

Credit points: 10 Prerequisites/incompatibles: Nil Lecturer in Charge: Dr Mark Moresi Office location: 640.1.19 Email: [email protected] Telephone: 02 9701 4245 Contact me: Email or phone during business hours. Unit rationale, description and aim: An understanding of the mechanical principles underlying human movement, based on theoretical and best practice approaches, is required for the application of the science of exercise for health, fitness and sports performance. This unit introduces students to fundamental biomechanical concepts applicable to the study of exercise and sports science, specifically focusing on external forces and their effects on human movement and linear and angular kinematics and kinetics. This aim of the unit is to provide students with an understanding of basic mechanical principles and how these may be applied to human motion in a variety of contexts, as well as developing basic data collection and analysis skills fundamental to both qualitative and quantitative biomechanical assessment. These knowledge and skills are consistent with the professional standards of several accreditation bodies, including those for Exercise Science. Teaching team:

Mode: Multi-mode Attendance pattern: 1 x 2hr lecture (online and/or face-to-face delivery) and 1 x 2hr tutorial per week. Duration: 12-week semester. You should anticipate undertaking 150 hours of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings and assignment preparation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES The Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science and Bachelor of High Performance Sport courses are professional programs that require development of particular attributes for accreditation purposes. These are also included in the learning outcomes. On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to: 1.

Apply fundamental biomechanical principles to human movement in a variety of contexts including exercise, sport, health, activities of daily living and injury (GA5, GA8) Describe the methods utilised in biomechanics and their advantages and limitations, including qualitative and quantitative analyses (GA4, GA5, GA9) Use biomechanical data collection and analysis systems to analyse human movement (GA5, GA7, GA8, GA9, GA10)

2. 3.

GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES Each unit in your course contributes in some way to the development of the ACU Graduate Attributes which you should demonstrate by the time you complete your course. All Australian universities have their expected graduate attributes – ACU’s Graduate Attributes have a greater emphasis on ethical behaviour and community responsibility than those of many other universities. All of your units will enable you to develop some attributes. On successful completion of this unit, you should have developed your ability to: GA4

think critically and reflectively

GA5

demonstrate values, knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the discipline and/or profession

GA7

work both autonomously and collaboratively

GA8

locate, organise, analyse, synthesise and evaluate information

GA9

demonstrate effective communication in oral and written English language and visual media

GA10 utilise information and communication and other relevant technologies effectively

CONTENT Topics will include: • • • • • • • • •

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND STUDENT FEEDBACK This unit has been evaluated through the ‘Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching’ (SELT) online surveys. Changes have been made to the content delivery, sequencing and assessment task formats in response to previous student feedback and to provide early feedback on student progress. SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course coordinators and/or through student representatives.

LEARNING AND TEACHING STRATEGY AND RATIONALE Learning and teaching strategies include active learning, individual and group activities, cooperative learning and web-based learning, delivered over 12 weeks. This range of strategies will provide students with appropriate access to required knowledge and understanding of unit content, and opportunities for development of competency in the practical skills of exercise testing. These strategies will allow students to meet the aim, learning outcomes and graduate attributes of the unit, as well as professional practice standards. Learning and teaching strategies will reflect respect for the individual as an independent learner. Students will be expected to take responsibility for their learning and to participate actively within group activities.

LECTURE CAPTURE Lecture content will be recorded and made available to students for this unit via LEO.

Practical/laboratory/tutorial class attendance requirements To ensure that students meet the stated learning outcomes for the unit, attendance at ALL practical/laboratory/tutorial classes is expected. Attendance at a minimum of 80% of these classes must be achieved in order to pass the unit. If a student misses a class due to reasons wholly outside of their control (e.g. serious medical condition, or death of a close relative) they may be eligible for make-up work, which, if completed in the allotted timeframe, will contribute towards attendance. If a student misses a class for reasons that are wholly or partially within the student’s control, e.g. bad traffic, slept through their alarm, they may not be eligible for make-up work. To avoid disrupting other students and staff, students are expected to be on time for practical/laboratory/tutorial classes. Students who are late to a scheduled class may be marked as being absent. Students who miss more than 20% of tutorial classes, for any reason i.e. including reasons wholly outside of their control, may not be eligible for a pass in this unit as they may not meet the required Learning Outcomes. Student responsibilities on missing a class

Page 3 of 10

Version:

To be eligible for make-up work, students who miss a class due to reasons wholly outside of their control must submit the Exercise Science Attendance Form (included as a PDF on each unit’s LEO Page) via email to the Exercise Science Administration email address in the relevant state: [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. This form must be accompanied by medical or legal documentary evidence. Students should do this as soon as possible, but no later than 5 working days from the end of the period in which they are affected. If deemed eligible, the student will be provided with make-up work, to be completed within a deadline set by the Lecturer-in-Charge. The following will result in non-attendance being recorded for the respective class: • Failure to submit the form via email to the relevant Exercise Science Administration email address within the 5 working day deadline, • Failure to provide documentary evidence, or • Failure to complete the make-up within the set deadline. For a full description of the eligibility criteria and process, please refer to the Exercise Science Attendance Form (included as a PDF on each unit’s LEO Page). Student responsibilities on missing multiple classes Students who miss more than three practical, laboratory or tutorial classes, for any reason (including any covered by an Attendance Form), are required to email their Course Coordinator to organise a meeting to discuss the appropriate course of action. This may include early withdrawal from the unit.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY AND RATIONALE In order to best enable students to demonstrate unit learning outcomes and develop graduate attributes, standards-based assessment is utilised, consistent with University assessment requirements. A range of assessment strategies are used including: a laboratory workbook to assess the understanding and application of knowledge; a mechanical changes presentation to assess the application of key skills and the synthesis of sourced information with unit content; and a written examination to assess student learning of unit content. In order to pass this unit, you are required to achieve a total of at least 50% of the available marks overall for this unit from the assessment tasks. The assessment tasks for this unit are designed for you to demonstrate your achievement of each learning outcome.
