| Course description |
| This course will discuss research methods and findings in human movement science. It is intended to enable students to learn fundamental principles of physical movements and activities in everyday life from the viewpoint of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, experimental psychology, and motor control theory. |
| Expected Learning |
| The learning experiences and activities in the course are designed to enable students to: 1) understand physiological basis of circulation and respiration, 2) understand basic mechanisms of sensorimotor systems controlling motor action in daily life. |
