PRAC Practical Assignment:
The practical assignments tests the skills related to the processing of biomechanical data in MS Excel.
WPO Teamwork:
The teamwork assignment is on the topic of movement analysis. In this, the student group needs to construct and carry out a biomechanical test protocol. They are able to demonstrate the relevance of the studied variables based upon scientific literature. Results are being reported on a scientific level, and also translated into lay man's terms. The students are able to reflect critically about their chosen protocol and the obtained results. The group work is reported in a paper and a presentation.
