Biomechanics, as a crucial foundational course in biomedical engineering, demands an emphasis on cultivating students’ practical skills and an explorative mindset. To meet the challenges posed by rapidly evolving technologies and theories, this paper articulates the primary issues confronting traditional biomechanics laboratory teaching. It proposes a reformative approach to blended experimental teaching, integrating online instruction with hands-on practice. The methodology of hybrid experimental teaching in biomechanics unfolds online learning opportunities, encompassing the exposition and application of biomechanical skills. This includes proficiency in image and video analysis, mechanical testing, theory-experimental data comparison, and experimental design. It crafts a well-designed and effective blended teaching program, optimizing corresponding experimental courses, fortifying assessment methods, fostering students’ enthusiasm for scientific research, and enhancing their ability to integrate theory with practice. This initiative aims to cultivate innovative and well-rounded talents in the field.
