The focus of this research group is to assess the mechanics of human movement in order to improve physical and sporting performance, and minimise the risk of injury. We achieve this through combined expertise in motion analysis and kinematics; kinetics; electromyography; ultrasound and musculoskeletal modelling.

Our research group investigates if skeletal muscle possesses a 'memory' within its DNA (in the form of epigenetic imprints) following exercise, and after muscle growth or wasting. We also investigate how novel molecules affect skeletal muscle growth and loss.

The objective of this research group is to improve our understanding of muscle-tendon adaptations and processes of non-traumatic injury. The main research areas include muscle-tendon interaction and function, muscle and connective tissue plasticity, and injury mechanisms in muscle and connective tissue.
