The study of biomechanics and movement science is often undertaken from the perspective of a single department. By implementing an interdisciplinary approach, the availability of faculty members with backgrounds in sport biomechanics, motor control, applied physiology, engineering, molecular biomechanics, tissue engineering, robotics, neuroscience and computer science, affords students a much more diverse educational environment. In addition, the collective research laboratories of the participating units provide exposure to outstanding facilities
