EXSCI2000 Biomechanics in Physical Education
This course enables students to develop an understanding of the nature of efficient human movement, based on principles of biomechanics. Content: linear and angular kinematics, linear and angular kinetics, fluid mechanics, qualitative analysis of sports techniques and the application of biomechanical principles to fundamental movements, sports techniques, recreational and exercise movement activities. In addition, students will be exposed to a variety of teaching and learning activities and strategies that can be implemented when teaching fundamental biomechanical principles in Senior Physical Education.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $2,124
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $997
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
