Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | The student will be able to explain the concepts of strength, power, and speed based on their biomechanical and physiological foundations. |
| LO02 | The student will be able to analyze the mechanical properties of the muscle–tendon unit (e.g., stiffness, elasticity, force–length and force–velocity relationships). |
| LO03 | The student will be able to evaluate the effects of different loading types (maximal strength, explosive strength, reactive strength) on performance outcomes. |
| LO04 | The student will be able to interpret the role of neuromuscular factors in force and power production (e.g., motor unit activation, synchronization, rate of force development). |
| LO05 | The student will be able to analyze the mechanical determinants of speed and acceleration performance (e.g., ground reaction force, contact time, stride frequency and length). |
| LO06 | The student will be able to design training programs aimed at improving strength, power, and speed based on scientific principles. |
