This course aims to provide a platform for both international and local researchers working on biomechanics in the fields of orthopaedics, sports medicine, and sports science to bring together known best practices, the latest technological advances, and new evidence-based research.
What you'll study
- The definition and basic physics of biomechanics, and its application in the field of sports medicine and sports science.
- The latest techniques of biomechanics including biomechanics measures of joint stability, model-based image-matching, on-field motion analysis. Participants will be equipped with the skills of biomechanics analysis and employable to work for biomechanics assessments.
- The latest developments of sport biomechanics research in the area of orthopaedics surgery, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and sports performance.
Who is the course for
Postgraduate students and early career researchers
