Biomechanics is a scientific area that seeks to measure, explain, equate, model, categorize and catalog the patterns of the Human Movement. The Program of the Course, guides students to the development of skills that allow the understanding of the bases of this movement. The data from the biomechanical quantitative analysis allow the comparison between subjects or the evaluation of the individual development process. The analysis of the movement of the segments as a function of time and space, the analysis of the forces acting on the musculoskeletal system and the internal forces of the system, allow the student to study Human Movement with the objective of optimizing motor action / sports technique, prevention of sports injuries, motor rehabilitation after injury or disability and ergonomics. This curricular unit, integrating knowledge with others in the study plan, is thus significant in the knowledge to be acquired by students at the end of the degree.
