Biomechanics and Applied Movement

BIO is the academy's lab science department. Coursework studies hip stability, gait, force production, recovery, and the lower-body biomechanics that make every other discipline at the academy possible.

Department Overview

The BIO lab pairs anatomy and force-system theory with weekly hands-on screenings — gait, mobility, training-load tolerance — and a fieldwork component on stairs, slopes, and sport movement across campus.
