| 376-0203-00L | Movement and Sport Biomechanics | W | 4 credits | 3G | W. R. Taylor, R. List | |
| Abstract | Learning to view the human body as a (bio-) mechanical system. Making the connections between everyday movements and sports activity with injury, discomfort, prevention and rehabilitation. | |||||
| Learning objective | Students are able to describe the human body as a mechanical system. They analyse and describe human movement according to the laws of mechanics. | |||||
| Content | Movement- and sports biomechanics deals with the attributes of the human body and their link to mechanics. The course includes topics such as functional anatomy, biomechanics of daily activities (gait, running, etc.) and looks at movement in sport from a mechanical point of view. Furthermore, simple reflections on the loading analysis of joints in various situations are discussed. Additionally, questions covering the statics and dynamics of rigid bodies, and inverse dynamics, relevant to biomechanics are investigated. | |||||
| 376-0207-00L | Exercise Physiology | W | 4 credits | 3G | C. Spengler, F. Gabe Beltrami | |
| Abstract | This course provides an overview over molecular and systemic aspects of neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations to acute and chronic exercise as well as the interactions of the different systems influencing factors, e.g. genetics, gender, age, altitude/depth, heat/cold, with respect to performance and health. | |||||
| Learning objective | The aim of this course is to understand molecular and systemic aspects of neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations to acute and chronic exercise as well as the interaction of the different systems regarding health-relevant aspects and performance in healthy people and persons with selected diseases. Furthermore, students will understand the influence of genetics, gender, age, altitude/depth, heat and cold on the named factors. | |||||
| Content | History of Exercise Physiology, research methods, fibertype heterogeneity and its functional significance, neural control of muscle force, molecular nad cellular mechanisms of muscle adaptation to resistance, endurance and stretching exercise, interindividual variability in the response to training, cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses to acute and chronic exercise, sexi differences relevant to exercise performance, exercise in hot and cold environment, children and adolescents in sport and exercise, exercise at altitude and depth, aging and exercise performance, exercise for health, exercise in the context of disease. | |||||

| 376-1220-00L | Rehabilitation and Inclusion | W | 3 credits | 2G | R. Riener | |
| Abstract | This course presents origins and prevention of different physical, sensory, mental impairments, their treatments, and methods of assistance in public and home environments. Rehabilitation is put into a larger context providing insights into healthcare systems, health economy, accessibility, barrier-free architecture, para-sports, legal & regulatory aspects, disability policy, and inclusion. | |||||
| Learning objective | With this lecture, we want to not only transfer a broad knowledge about rehabilitation and inclusion, but also raise awareness about the challenges and needs of people with impairments, the economy and the overall society. Students should learn about the complex and multi-facetted interaction of care, treatment, assistance, reimbursement, accessibility, legal regulation, and social inclusion. This knowledge and awareness should be presented in a multi-modal way using interactive tools and organizing group/plenar discussions. | |||||
| Content | The course will cover the following topics: • Introduction: definition of terms, historical and legal background, role of the UNO, WHO, ICRC • Origins: reasons and origins of physical, sensory and mental impairments; surgical and pharmaceutical treatments • Therapy: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy • Technological support: Robot-aided therapy, Virtual Reality, muscle stimulation, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) • Home therapy: personal assistance, mobile health systems, tele-monitoring, tele-therapy • Assistive technologies: gait assistance, prosthesis, orthoses, seeing/hearing aids, etc. • Social inclusion: definition of normality and belongingness, social behaviours, UN-BRK, etc. • Accessibility: national and international aspects of accessibility • Health economy in rehabilitation: public and private cost models, health insurance, SUVA, IV • Barrier-free building and living: environmental obstacles, norms in architecture, inclusive design • Parasports: history of Olympics and Paralympics, Special Olympics, Deaflympics, Cybathlon • Policy: health, social, equal opportunity, disability • Regulatory affairs: ethics committees, Swissmedic, Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG), law and disability • Prevention: primary and secondary prevention, social prevention | |||||
