Welcome to Biomechanics in Judo, Powerlifting and Climbing at Dalarna University

Welcome to this course at HDa, which starts on September 2nd. If you have any questions about the course, feel free to email me (miv@du.se). All lessons in this course will be taught online and recorded material will be made available on our learning platform, and Zoom will be used for digital meetings. You will find the preliminary schedule for the course in "Modules" to left, under "Course Information".

During this course, you will learn about topics such as:

- Forces and Kinetics
- Torque
- Impulse and momentum
- Work and power
- Kinematics

You will also work on:

- Basic calculations and biomechanical discussions

A key objective in the course planning is to create connections between theory and practice. Therefore, we have a number of lectures focusing on applied biomechanics in each respective sport.

We hope you engage in inspiring, interesting, and challenging discussions with your teachers and fellow students. As with all courses at Dalarna University, this course has a strong foundation in theory and research.

We view group work as an important resource in all course activities, made evident by the feedback of previous participants of the course, who highlighted the value of group discussions. Due to the broad scope of the course, it is impossible to go into depth on all topics, but we hope that what you learn will inspire interest and help you develop the tools you need in your continued professional development.
