The course of Fundamentals of Biomechanics introduces students to the description of human movement from the perspective of the mechanics, introducing them to the anatomy and physiology of the human musculoskeletal system, including force interactions and loading conditions in joints and the mechanism of muscle force generation. In addition to the biomechanics of movement, it also discusses the biomechanics of tissues, particularly bones, ligaments, tendons, and tissues of the circulatory system.
