33 BACHELOR OF EXERCISE SCIENCE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC SESSION

Course Code VIB1003
Course Title BASIC BIOMECHANICS
Credit 3
Medium of Instruction Malay and English Language
Course Pre-requisite(s)/ Minimum None
Requirement(s)
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Describe the basic concepts and principles of biomechanics.
2. Relate the theory and basic principles of mechanics to human movement.
3. Perform a simple movement analysis
Synopsis of Course Contents Students will be introduced to mechanical laws and principles, as well as physiological
understanding of the prime movers of the body, the muscles. They will later be exposed
to ways of applying those laws and principles to basic movement and human
locomotion with the use of suitable tools in the laboratory.

Course Title MOTOR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
Credit 3
Medium of Instruction English
Course Pre-requisite(s)/ Minimum None
Requirement(s)
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Describe the concepts and theories of motor development.
2. Explain the development and change in motor skills across the lifespan.
3. Determine functional constraints to motor development.
4. Identify locations and take anthropometric measurements.
Synopsis of Course Contents This course will cover the development and change of a variety of movement skills of
human beings across the lifespan, beginning with infancy, progressing to childhood,
adolescence, and adulthood, before ending with the aging population. Specific factors
that influence or inhibit movement will also be discussed. Besides, this course will
expose the students to special equipment used for testing inside or outside laboratory.

Course Title TESTING AND MEASUREMENT IN EXERCISE AND SPORTS
Credit 3
Medium of Instruction Malay and English Languages
Course Pre-requisite(s)/ Minimum None
Requirement(s)
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Evaluate the principles and techniques in the evaluation and measurement
of physical fitness and sports skills.
2. Prepare a proposal to conduct testing and measurement.
3. Design a method for data collection and analysis.
4. Compare data acquisition in sports qualitatively and quantitatively.
Synopsis of Course Contents This course discusses concepts, theories, principles and techniques of testing,
measurement and evaluation in fitness, skills in sports. Measurements will also be
conducted to assess the cognitive and affective aspects of the sport, method of
formation evaluation tool, administration and management assessments in laboratory
and outside laboratory operated practically. Quantitative analysis of the test results will
be interpreted and evaluated through applied statistics. Qualitative analysis is also
included so that students can make a qualitative analysis of movement in sports.
