Abstract

This paper provides and example of problem-based learning to assess effects from landing strategies during drop jumps on ground reaction forces calculated from a wearable accelerometer.

Problem Title: Determining influence of landing technique on ground reaction forces

Course Level: Undergraduate Introductory.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Determine the effects of landing technique on ground reaction forces
2. Calculate ground reaction force from body worn accelerometer data
3. Discuss the relationship between force and time when the change in momentum is controlled
4. Analyse and apply the data obtained to design a training program
