Biomechanics of Movement | Introduction to the Course

Lecture by Professor Scott Delp of Stanford University. Learn about some of Scott's first inspirations in biomechanics (including the Fosbury Flop!) and the journey you'll go through in the Biomechanics of Movement course, including learning about muscle strength, electomyograms (EMG), movement dynamics and optimization needed to help understand the diverse and complex movements that enable Olympic-level performance and those required for everyday life.

It's such a privilege to watch this video from Brazil. Thank you for the time and effort put into those lectures.

I hope these videos are helpful to the biomechanics community.

Recent Physics PhD graduate here, and admittedly, biology was NOT one of my preferred subjects in school. However, as a former athlete who has sustained numerous injuries (especially with my knee), I've recently developed an interest in biomechanics and the physics of our bodies. I've gotten a copy of your book and am excited to watch these lectures to help improve my understanding of the human body and also understand how to optimize my own movement patterns!
