Course Details
• Introduction to Running Biomechanics: Understanding the basics of running biomechanics, including the body's movements, forces, and energy transfer during running.
• Kinematics and Kinetics: Analysis of the motion and forces involved in running, including linear and angular kinematics, ground reaction forces, and center of mass movement.
• Muscle Activation and Dynamics: Examination of muscle activation patterns, strength, and endurance during running, and their impact on performance and injury prevention.
• Gait Analysis: Techniques for analyzing running gait, including visual observation, video analysis, and force plate analysis, to identify biomechanical inefficiencies and injuries.
• Running Injuries and Biomechanics: Understanding the relationship between running biomechanics and common running injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and runner's knee, and how to prevent them.
• Footwear and Running Biomechanics: Analysis of the impact of footwear on running biomechanics, including shoe design, cushioning, and stability, and their influence on injury prevention and performance.
• Training and Program Design: Designing running programs that consider biomechanical factors, such as individual running style, strength, and mobility, to optimize performance and reduce injury risk.
• Technology in Running Biomechanics: Exploration of the latest technology and tools used in running biomechanics analysis, including motion capture systems, wearable devices, and mobile apps.
• Practical Application of Running Biomechanics Analysis: Hands-on experience in applying running biomechanics analysis techniques to real-world scenarios, including gait analysis, footwear prescription, and training program design.
