Trosolwg

Mae Dr Nick Owen yn fiofecanydd sy'n arbenigo mewn biomecaneg ddynol. Ei ddiddordebau yw asesu perfformiad dynol a datblygu offerynnau newydd ar gyfer asesu niwrogyhyrol.

Mae gwaith Dr Owen wedi ei arwain at sawl maes ymchwil sy'n ymddangos yn ddigyswllt. Yn ogystal ag asesu athletwyr elît am weithrediad niwrogyhyrol e.e. cryfder a chyflyru, mae Dr Owen yn defnyddio'r un technegau ar gyfer asesu cydsymud mewn plant. Mae ganddo un trefniant cydweithio hirsefydlog gydag Ymddiriedolaeth Mary Rose lle mae'n defnyddio technegau biomecaneg i ymchwilio i effeithiau gweithgarwch corfforol ar esgyrn. Mae ganddo hefyd ddiddordeb brwd mewn gwahanol dechnegau delweddu e.e. ffotogrametreg a sganio DXA a'u defnyddioldeb i fiomecaneg.

SR-305 Sports Biomechanics

The purpose of the module is to develop competence in biomechanical analysis of human movement and its application to sporting situations. The module builds upon the concepts, principles and methods established in the level 1 module SR-142, SR-146 and the level 2 module SR-254.
SR-S01 Study Abroad (SPEX)

Study at a partner institution abroad. Please note there are no Swansea University based assessments for this module. However, there will be varied assessments run by the host university.
