AB  - Biomechanics education is a vital component of kinesiology, sports medicine, and 
      physical education, as well as for many biomedical engineering and bioengineering 
      undergraduate programmes. Little research exists regarding effective teaching 
      strategies for biomechanics. However, prior work suggests that student learning 
      in undergraduate physics courses has been aided by using the Just-in-Time 
      Teaching (JiTT). As physics understanding plays a role in biomechanics 
      understanding, the purpose of study was to evaluate the use of a JiTT framework 
      in an undergraduate biomechanics course. This two-year action-based research 
      study evaluated three JiTT frameworks: (1) no JiTT; (2) mathematics-based JiTT; 
      and (3) concept-based JiTT. A pre- and post-course assessment of student learning 
      used the biomechanics concept inventory and a biomechanics concept map. A general 
      linear model assessed differences between the course assessments by JiTT 
      framework in order to evaluate learning and teaching effectiveness. The results 
      indicated significantly higher learning gains and better conceptual understanding 
      in a concept-based JiTT course, relative to a mathematics-based JiTT or no JiTT 
      course structure. These results suggest that a course structure involving 
      concept-based questions using a JiTT strategy may be an effective method for 
      engaging undergraduate students and promoting learning in biomechanics courses.
