Any special interest you have? E.g. biomechanics, manual therapy methods, sports injuries etc?

Are you planning to do just a literature (lit) review or a research project? A lit review is actually a review of studies already been conducted and no research is done by you. A research project involves a lit review of the topic but you also have to make your own research measurements in order to contribute to the scientific community. Note that at your level a research is limited mainly by the uni's equipment and the pool of subjects, so it has to be something easy to be conducted.
To give you a random and simple example, you could make a lit review about effectiveness of ankle taping on healthy subjects in performing static vertical jumps. You should look for all types of ankle taping (e.g. classic tape, kinesiotape, Mulligan tape, placebo tape etc) and all measures of jumping performance (e.g. height achieved, number of repetitions before fatique etc) been studied till now. If you wanted to make your research too, you should find healthy subjects (e.g. your colleagues), tapes and have your subjects perform jumps and measuring some or all of the above factors (height etc).
It's obvious that there are difficulties in both topics. So let me know of this first.
