Objectives
1. Define Biomechanics and frame it epistemologically; 2. Identify the object of study and develop relationship skills between the different objectives of sports biomechanics; 3. Identify and describe the types of movement; 4. Acquire knowledge and develop skills in terms of the biomechanics of bones, muscles and joints; 5. Identify movements and joint movement plans; 6. Develop kinematic analysis skills; 7. Acquire knowledge in determining an athlete's center of gravity; 8. Analyse the importance of balance and stability in the performance of sporting techniques; 9. Acquire knowledge and develop kinetic analysis skills; 10. Describe examples of the different categories of solutions for the biomechanical assessment of sports movement and their interrelationships; 11. Perspective of the different solutions for biomechanical assessment of sports movement in terms of providing feedback to the practitioner; 12. Develop technological innovation capabilities in sport in the area of biomechanics.

Teaching Method
In theoretical classes, they will be developed in an expository manner, and in theoretical-practical classes, the aim will be to develop the syllabus, through the application of practical sheets and experimental sessions.
