Biomechanics; Locomotion Studies
你为什么要这么做?
I like to show students how understanding mechanics (physics) can allow them to help other people function in their daily activities.
如何让学习更有吸引力?
I teach kinesiology, the study of human motion. I try to make the material engaging by having students demonstrate and analyze different motions of the body, such as strength training and exercise motions, 体育运动相关的运动, 以及日常生活活动.
