Exclusions
Description	This module provides a comprehensive course in analysis of motor performance. Motor control is the basis of any movement, being in sport or in daily life. In most cases we aim to improve and optimise our movements to be more efficient. In order to improve it is essential that we can record and analyse our performance. Utilising scientific movement analysis methods to acquire reliable data for analysis we can understand where progress can be made. This can then inform strategies to enhance motor performance and learning. Case studies and data analysis will form the backbone of the assessment.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the students should be able to: Critically justify the choice of an appropriate movement analysis method for a human movement Critically use theory and data to write a professional report Analyse and interpret movement analysis dataCritically use scientific literature to justify an interventional approach to movement.
