Examples of Learning Resources

Here are some examples of learning resources I have created for my Biomechanics classes.

The NB files are Mathematica notebook files. Your computer must have Mathematica software to use this file. The EXE files are applications that may be installed on your computer by saving the file to your Temp directory, then clicking on the icon to start the software.

Muscle Mechanics

• "Force-velocity relation for skeletal muscle" (Lab notes, PDF)

Sports Projectiles

• "Optimum projection angle in the shot put" (Lab notes, PDF)
• "Optimum projection angle in the shot put - Tutor's notes" (Tutor's notes, PDF)
• "Soccer kick - Effects of aerodynamic drag" (Lab notes, PDF)
• Soccer Kick (Mathematica Notebook, NB)

Standing Vertical Jump

• "Analysis of standing vertical jumps using a force platform" (Lab notes, PDF)
• Vertical Jump (Software, EXE, 3235 KB)
• Countermovement Jump (Data file, DAT)
• Squat Jump (Data file, DAT)
