Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
- know the main methods and results of general physics
- use the results of physics in the areas of kinematics and dynamics to analyze the motion of systems and estimate the loads exerted on the musculoskeletal system by external forces
- know the basics of electrostatics and electrodynamics and their connection with signal transduction within the body and in artificial measuring systems
- know the basics of fluidostatics and fluid dynamics and their physiological consequences
- use the results of physics in the areas of electrostatics, electrodynamics and thermology to solve simple exercises

Course Prerequisites
Prior knowledge of basic mathematics at the high school level (equations, literal expressions, trigonometry) is required. Mathematical concepts required for the course will be covered by the instructor in the first lecture.
A prior knowledge of basic physics is helpful but not necessary.

Teaching Methods
The theoretical lessons will be made available as video recordings accessible online and asychronously. They will be accompanied by in-person sessions for review and exercises, both in plenary and in small groups.
During the course, on a voluntary basis, students will be offered tests to be taken independently, made available through the e-learning platform.

Assessment Methods
The learning assessment will consist of a 90-minute multiple-choice test, with theoretical questions and short exercises covering the entire program.
