Biomechanics

Program Information

School:University of Calgary
Faculty:Kinesiology
Degree:Bachelor; Honours
Field of Study:Biology/Biological Sciences, General
Kinesiology and Exercise Science
Description:

Biomechanics scholars ask questions such as: Can the correct skate improve your stride? Why is the Fosbury Flop such an effective high jumping technique? How do ski boots impact knee injuries?



Biomechanics examines the forces acting upon and within a biological structure, as well as the effects produced by these forces. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur while actively working on problems in class and during labs. You'll learn how to apply mechanical theories and concepts to living systems with special emphasis on the human body and its movement, structure, and function.

This program highlights lab work, practicum experience and study abroad opportunities.
