Course content
It is a discipline that combines basic research with extensive use of computer technology, a wide arsenal of physical methods such as strain gauge, biomechanics, electrophysiological methods and others. The task of the discipline is to use a set of basic, applied sciences and software aimed at using data on the structure and function of muscles, in particular in the quantitative analysis of their function depending on the condition of muscle tissue or environmental influences. As a result of the study, students should have modern practical and theoretical ideas about the structure of muscles, various manifestations of mobility that underlie the existence of life.
