Human Movement Sciences: Sport, Exercise and Health (MSc) Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Faculteit der Bewegingswetenschappen - M Human Movement Sciences - 2014-2015 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Faculteit der Bewegingswetenschappen - M Human Movement Sciences - 2014-2015 I The one-year (60EC) programme Human Movement Sciences: Sport, Exercise & Health aims to teach students to collect and develop knowledge and understanding of human movement and to be able to apply this in the sports-, exercise- and health-related fields. The programme comprises four main tracks: biophysics in health & rehabilitation; health & lifestyle interventions; physiology in sport & health; and sport psychology. Given the nature of the study, exercise will form a key part of all tracks. The tracks are not strictly divided programmes and overlaps and switches to compose the ideal programme for each individual student are absolutely possible. Next to the four tracks, the programme offers a limited number of students (we have approximately 15 -20 places available each year), the opportunity to acquire an accreditation for teaching in Higher Education. The programme “Teaching in Higher Education” amounts to 24 EC, which can partially be incorporated into the regular programme. The programme also intends to establish links to certifications in health and exercise such as those the recognized certifications of the American College of Sports Medicine (Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist®, Exercise Specialist® (ES) en ACSM Health/Fitness Instructor®). The MSc diploma, when combined with a small number of additional courses will allow students acces to the Postgraduate programme for Practical Sports Psychologist. This Postgraduate programme will take approximately one year (full time) and leads to accreditation as “Sportpsycholoog Vereniging voor Sportpsychologie in Nederland (r)” Overview of the programme (For more information about the courses, please see below) Admission to the Master’s programme Students with a bachelor’s degree in Human Movement Sciences (either from VU University or the RUG) or Health Sciences with a major Human Movement Sciences (UM) or Medical Sciences with a major Human Movement Sciences (Radboud Universiteit) have direct access to the master’s programme HMS. The only condition is that the student has made a rough personal planning for the Master’s Programme that has been approved by the Examination Board. Bachelors of studies other than Human Movement Sciences need to meet the requirements as mentioned on the website. The Master's Programme only starts in September. Students from both our own Bachelor's programme and from other programmes are not allowed to start the Master's programme during the academic year. Master Programme for students with a Bachelor degree other than Human Movement Sciences For detailed information on admission requirements and procedures for students with a Bachelor degree other than Human Movement Sciences wanting to follow the Master’s Programme, we refer to this website. The Master’s Programme for these students normally is consistent with the regular Master’s Programme. Most students from other programmes than Human Movement Sciences have to follow a Premaster’s Programme before entering the Master’s Programme. Depending on the nature of the Bachelor degree of the student, the elements of the Premaster Programme are determined. The study load for the Premaster Programme may vary from 6 to a maximum of 30 credits. If more than 30 credits ar required for admission to the Master's programme, students have to follow a maximum of two courses (12 credits) extra. A special fee of 63,50 euro per credit is charged for these additional courses. Optional courses The student can use the Optional credits for: -Following one or more master courses of the other track or optional courses within the programme, or selected courses from the Research Master’s Programme (note: entry for these courses might be limited); -Courses from the Bachelor’s programme, provided that the total programme comprises at least 51 EC from the master’s programme. -Elements of other master’s programmes, either of VU University or another University, provided that the total programme comprises at least 51 EC from the master’s programme. -Following a Teacher Training Course. Please note that because the Teacher Training Course is 24 EC, it will result in an extended duration of the study. See www.fbw.vu.nl for the Teacher Training Course. -Participation in one of the SOCRATES-Programmes: Exercise and Sport Psychology, Adapted Physical Activity or Development of Motor Control and Coordination. This will probably lead to extended study duration as well. It is possible that more opportunities will be present in the near future. For more information contact international-and/or Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Faculteit der Bewegingswetenschappen - M Human Movement Sciences - 2014-2015 II master coordinator. -Short-literature review of 6 EC. -Extension of the internship with 6 credits (total 30 credits). -Practical internship of 6 EC. The student submits his free choice elements formally to the Examination Board by means of an approval form. The approval form must be signed by the study advisor. Approval Form Although the students are free in choosing elements for the Optional credits, the faculty has certain requirements as to the size and the level of the chosen elements. The Free Subject Choice should, in theory, only consist of study components from the Master’s programme. Study components from the Bachelor’s programme for the Free Subject Choice are only applicable when they are relevant to the Master’s programme. In order to establish this, the student needs to fill out the Approval Form with the element content and rough planning, which has to be signed by the study advisor for approval. In order to prevent disappointments we advise the students to hand in their Approval Forms as early as possible.

Bruijn Docent(en) dr. S.M. Bruijn Lesmethode(n) Hoorcollege, Computerpracticum Niveau 500 Doel vak In this course, students will upgrade their mostly 2D biomechanical knowledge to the 3D world and they will learn to apply this new knowledge to perform biomechanical analyses in the context of Sport and Health. Students will learn to analyze laboratory measurements using a 3D inverse dynamics model. Furthermore, they will learn how to work with more simple measurement techniques, such as accelerometers found in phones. Students will also learn how these complex and simple measurement tools can be applied in biomechanical research in both the laboratory and in field settings. Lastly, students will learn to choose methods that are adequate and efficient for a given problem; in other words; what are the most efficient ways to analyze a given situation, and at what cost (i.e. decrease in precision) does this come? Inhoud vak Every week consists of lectures, Matlab practicals and workgroups. During the lectures the theory will be explained. During the Matlab practicals, the biomechanical theory will be applied to analyze different applied research questions. Finally, during the workgroups, you will discuss and present on how to best tackle a research question. Every week, the motion to be analyzed will become more complex (few segments à full-body). Measurement using the following systems will be covered in this course: • Laboratory grade 3d motion/force registration • Simple wearable accelerometers Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Faculteit der Bewegingswetenschappen - M Human Movement Sciences - 2014-2015 6-10-2015 - Pagina 5 van 41 The analysis of the following 3D variables will be covered in the course: • Joint angles • Joint moments • Energy • Angular momentum Onderwijsvorm 21 hours of Lectures 36 hours of practicals 110 hours of self-study (preparing lectures, Writing assignments etc) Toetsvorm Weekly practical report + final examination Literatuur Will appear on blackboard Vereiste voorkennis It is recommended to have completed the following courses: • Biomechanica (B_BM) • (2D) Mechanische analyse (B_MECHAN) • Meten van Fysische grootheden (B_METENVANFG) Students should have sufficient Matlab experience (see courses above) since all biomechanical modeling will be done with this program.

Beek Lesmethode(n) Hoorcollege, Werkcollege Niveau 500 Doel vak The student is able to describe course aims in formal format, divided in the categories: - reporting the key behavioral concepts in contemporary Human Movement Science; - applying these concepts in describing research outcomes; - judging the (dis)advantage of using a concept in a particular situation. Inhoud vak Human movement is a complex behavior. To interpret this complex behavior, the scientific literature uses concepts that are rather complex themselves. Examples of such concepts are information, stability, synergy, internal representation and motor programs. In this course, questions such as "What do these concepts mean exactly?" and "How do these concepts help us to understand the behavior we observe?"
