Course description and aims

This course is comprised of two lecture parts. Takeo Maruyama is in charge of the lectures in the first quarter, and Kazuhiro Suda is in the second quarter. Students must take both parts.
The two lectures cover the following content.

Students in this lecture learn the methodology of motion analysis in the biomechanics field for analyzing human behavior and motion in everyday life and during sport. Biomechanics is an academic discipline that uses mechanics and engineering methods to analyze human exercise and behavior. We research the structure of exercise equipment and the mechanisms for exerting power, as well as how humans move efficiently, following mechanical principles. The main research technique is motion analysis using video. Understanding the research techniques of this field is useful for research activities in the graduate major.
Students in this course will learn about human actions and motion, gaining an understanding of the structure of exercise equipment and the mechanisms of force exertion, acquiring analysis methods using motion analysis equipment as well as data analysis methods, and learning the skills to use data from actual motion analysis practices for analysis.

This lecture deals with the energy supply systems at work during physical activity. This course provides knowledge on the classification of activity intensity that is important for understanding physical activity, the nervous system that coordinates each part of the body, information transmission by the endocrine system, breathing that draws in oxygen from outside the body, the circulatory system that transports oxygen within the body, and the mechanisms for supplying energy sources.
To understand physical activity, it is important to know how energy sources and oxygen are supplied to muscles. Students are expected to use this knowledge to adapt exercise to the purpose.

Student learning outcomes

Students will acquire the following knowledge and skills from taking this course.

1) Understanding the structure of exercise equipment and mechanisms of force exertion, and be able to explain the anatomical features of bodies.
2) Understand the devices and principles used for motion analysis, and be able to explain the DLT method.
3) Understanding the methods for kinematically analyzing body movement, and be able to explain analysis methods for joint movement using Euler angles.
4) Understand the methods for dynamically analyzing body movement, and be able to explain analysis methods for joint movement using Newton-Euler method.
5) Understand analysis methods for acquired data, and be able to explain techniques for filter processing.
6) Analyze motion analysis data and be able to organize it into a report.

1) Classify movement from the perspective of energy supply systems for body movement.
2) Explain the mechanisms for drawing in the oxygen necessary for body movement from the outside world.
3) Explain the mechanisms for transporting the oxygen to muscles.
4) Explain the mechanisms for supplying carbohydrates and lipids which are energy sources.

Class flow


1) The instructor lectures using slides.
2) At the end of each lecture, students write a short report related to that day's lesson content.
3) In lecture 7, we do a motion analysis exercise and students use that data to write a report.

The instructor lectures in the first half of each class. Students then investigate related materials.
