Muscle Mechanics & Modeling

Introduction to the mechanical properties of human muscle, and evaluation of the importance of these properties in human movement. Topics include: research methods used to describe these properties, and the role of modeling in understanding muscular properties and segmental motion patterns. Laboratory experience includes using a computer muscle model.

Skeletal Muscle Biology

This course will provide students with knowledge of multiple aspects of skeletal muscle biology. The material will include information about the basics of muscle contraction, muscle activation and bioenergetics. Laboratory-based opportunities will be used for students to try/experience various techniques commonly used to study muscle function from the molecular to whole muscle levels.
