Course Objectives (Both lecture and lab)
This course (lecture and lab) is designed to enable the student to meet the exit competencies
identified by the Biomechanics Academy of the American Alliance for Health Physical Education
Recreation and Dance and the Biomechanics Interest Group of the American College of Sports
Medicine as appropriate for a kinesiology core course in biomechanics. Specific objectives of the
course are:
1. The student will be able to describe the role that biomechanics plays as a subdiscipline of
the discipline of human movement and as a component supporting component of the
various professions related to human movement.
2. The student will be able to apply appropriate standard reference and movement
terminology to describe human body movements.
3. The student will be able to discuss the causes and nature of movement-related disorders of
1
the musculoskeletal system.
4. The student will be able to describe the methods and equipment involved in the
measurement and analysis of ground reaction forces, muscle electrical activity, and the
precise measurement of the kinematics of human movement using computer-based
videography.
5. The student will be able to identify the mechanical properties of the musculotendinous unit
and the most important factors related to the production of muscular force.
6. The student will be able to explain the relationship between the anatomical structure and
movement capabilities of the freely movable joints of the human body.
7. The student will be able to identify and discuss the role that each major muscle plays in
human body movements.
8. The student will be able to identify the relationship between linear and angular kinematic
variables and to use them appropriately in the description of human movement.
9. The student will be able to apply newton’s law of acceleration and the variations of this law
involving torque, impulse, momentum, work, energy, power, and pressure to study of the
relationship between both internal and external forces and their effect on the human
movement.
10. The student will be able to identify biomechanical principles relevant to the analysis of
musculoskeletal and aerobic fitness activities.
11. The student will be able to identify biomechanical principles relevant to throwing, pushing,
and striking skills.
12. The student will be able to identify biomechanical principles and analysis methods relevant
to gait.
13. The student will be able to apply the knowledge of musculoskeletal structure and function
and relevant mechanical principles to the design of muscular fitness programs.
Methods of Instruction
This course involves two primary methods (1) lecture and (2) lab. The lecture portion of the
course includes (1) assigned readings from the text, (2) Powerpoint presentations, (3) homework
assignments, and (4) questions and discussion related to readings and presentations. Powerpoint
presentations will be posted on the course website each week:
http://courses.ksu.edu/spring2003/KIN/KIN330 .
You are encouraged to complete the reading assignment and to review the related
Powerpoint presentation that is posted on this site before each class. Reading and homework
assignments will also utilize web-based materials available on the textbook website:
http://www.mhhe.com/hall4e. You should sign on to this website, complete the login procedure,
and become familiar with the features available to you. These include chapter quizzes, news feeds,
and powerWeb articles. Chapter quizzes will be helpful as a study aid and can be used throughout
the first 11 weeks of the course as a self-test of understanding and comprehension of the reading
assignments. Lecture will often begin with a review of questions from students regarding the
reading assignment and items on the quiz. The web-based resources provide a refreshing and
lively addition to the lectures to stimulate student interest and to serve as the focus for discussions
beyond that of the text. The first 11 weeks of the course will relate directly to the text readings and
related course website materials. Lectures from weeks 12-15 involve application of principles
studied in weeks 1-11 to fitness, throwing, and gait. These lectures will include reading materials
other than the textbook and are on reserve in the library. Three exams are given covering course
2
content from weeks 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15. The final exam is not comprehensive.
Laboratory experiences complement the lectures in three ways: (1) review concepts previously
learned in prerequisite courses, e.g. human body and physics; (2) provide a first-hand experience
with concepts presented in lecture to enable a more complete and deeper understanding, and (3)
introduce students to measurement and analysis methods commonly used in biomechanics of
human movement. The lab manual was developed at KSU and is keyed to the textbook and
accompanying Dynamic Human CD.

General Expectations
1. Deadlines for labs and homework must be met. Late homework assignments and labs will be
penalized by deducting points from your grade.
2. When you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to make sure that you obtain any
handouts and/or homework assignments from me before the next class meeting so that you will be
able to complete and turn your homework assignment in on time.
2. All exams must be taken during the time and day they are scheduled. The only exception will
be for students who must be away on University sponsored activities or student who have three
final exams scheduled on the same day, or for bona fide emergencies.
3. All labs must be completed in class or turned in by 5:00 unless otherwise stated in lab. Any
questions you have on the procedures needed to complete the lab should be asked during the lab
period. Further discussion of lab requirements and procedures are listed in the preface of the lab
manual.
4. Class will start promptly at 11:30. Please make every effort to get to class on time. On the rare
occasion that you may be late, please enter the room and be seated as quietly as possible.

Academic Dishonesty
All academic relationships ought to be governed by a sense of honor, fair play, trust, and a
readiness to give appropriate credit for the intellectual endeavors of others when credit is due.
K-State's policy on academic dishonesty assures due process and provides guidelines for action in
instances where the proper academic relationships and attitudes have broken down. Any student
enrolling at K-State implicitly accepts the university's stipulations concerning academic honesty
and the procedures
they entail. Complete copies of the academic dishonesty policy are available from the SGS Office
in the K-State Union. The policy outlines grievance procedures for all matters of academic
dishonesty, grade appeals, or other academic grievances brought by students against faculty
members or faculty members against students.
Kansas State University has an Undergraduate Honor System based on personal integrity
which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters one's work is performed honestly
and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate students, by registration, acknowledge the
jurisdiction of the Undergraduate Honor System. The policies and procedures of the
Undergraduate Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate
courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. A component vital to the Honor System
5
is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course
work undertaken by undergraduate students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is
stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this
academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. An XF would be
failure of the course with the X on the transcript indicating failure as a result of a breach of
academic honesty. For more information, visit the Honor System web page at:
http://www.ksu.edu/honor
Plagiarism
Plagiarism, taking someone else's intellectual work and presenting it as your own, covers
unpublished and published sources. Borrowing another's term paper, handing in a paper purchased
from an individual or agency, or submitting papers from living group, club, or organization files are
all punishable as plagiarism. The standard for attribution and acknowledgement of literary
indebtedness is set by each discipline. Students should consult with their department or with
recognized handbooks in their field if in doubt. The guidelines apply to faculty and research
assistants in their possible use of students' and colleagues' research and ideas, as well as to students'
use of source materials and authorities, and student use of other students' ideas and work.
Other Forms of Academic Cheating
Other forms of academic dishonesty subject to penalties include, but are not limited to,
consultation of books, library materials, or notes during a test; use of crib sheets or hidden notes
during an examination or looking at another student's test; having a confederate supply questions or
answers from an examination to be given or in progress; having another person stand in on an exam
or other graded activity; deliberate falsification of lab results; submission of falsified data;
procurement or alteration, without permission, of examinations or other academic exercises;
collaborating on projects where collaboration is forbidden; and other forms of academic dishonesty
and fraud.
