As Sports Biomechanics is an inter-disciplinary field of study, my advice to those wanting to study this master’s is to be prepared to think like a sports scientist, a mathematician, physicist, engineer, and sometimes, a photographer (if you are using motion capture). I would also suggest reading up on the scope and capacity of this field of science.
I would greatly encourage anyone to get into this field of study. Biomechanics is a relatively new field of study which means that it’s exciting and has rapid technological advancements, it’s growing in potential to answer important real-life questions.
With the increasing demand for performance analysis expertise in sport the opportunities are endless. Whether in research labs and academia, or in practice and applied settings, there are various applications to a Biomechanics degree.
