Cannot be taken as part of an examination contract
Vanwanseele Benedicte (coordinator) | Vanwanseele Benedicte | de Beukelaar Toon Aims
After completing this course the student is able to:
- know and understand the techniques that can be used in sports biomechanics to monitor and improve sports movements.
- design and execute a plan to measure certain biomechanical performance parameters in both a laboratory situation and field measurement.
- know and understand the importance of sprint and acceleration power in individual and in team sport.
- perform and analyze a test to design a strength profile for athletes and make recommendations to training.
- know and understand the new evolutions in technology and materials that can be used in sports.
- make sport specific diagnosis and provide advice on the basis of 'expert systems' in which test and measurement data are collected via an (electronic) training log (biography, anthropometric data, training history and scope, and competition performance)
- use various evaluation methods and techniques to perform strength / weakness analyzes for an individual screening.
- objectify individual and team performances of computer-controlled video simulations and computer animations (Dartfish, ProZone, VideoCoach) and high-tech tracking systems (Catapult Sports, STATSports).
- set up test batteries and use them to map the performance-determining factors during 'live' match situations or simulated test conditions
- to calculate future, theoretical competition performances, taking into account (shortfalls in) the training size, and physical, technical and tactical characteristics.

-> assignment (with presentation during the lessons) and questions on the exam
50% Capita Selecta Training Theory: Neuroscience and performance:
-> Assignment (with presentation during the lessons) and oral examination
To obtain a final score, all components must be taken, otherwise the course is assessed as “not taken” (NA).
If the student scores insufficiently on 1 of the two OLAs, 1 point will be deducted from the total score.
The students are expected to be acquainted with the education and the examination regulations of the KU Leuven and the faculty additions, including the rules about plagiarism.
