About

Our research projects relate to sports performance, health and product development. We collaborate with companies including Puma and Bergans of Norway to quantify how product design can influence human performance. We have research projects to understand knee injury risk in handball players and bone injury risk in runners, amongst others.

Methods

Motion capture, In-ground force plates, Force-instrumented treadmill, Electromyography, Inverse dynamics, Musculoskeletal modelling.

Teaching

Basic Biomechanics, Sports Biomechanics and Performance Analysis.

Research

Distinct muscle-tendon interaction during running at different speeds and in different loading conditions, Bergans of Norway: Let's Walk Naturally, Influence of running speed, load carriage and fatigue on second metatarsal stress during running
