Applied Sciences Webinar | Biomechanics and Human Movement Analysis in Sport, 28 September 2026
Welcome message from the chair:
Unlock the power of movement data to enhance athletic performance and prevent injury. Discover how cutting-edge movement analysis, kinematics, kinetics, and biomechanical profiling are transforming the way we understand, train, and rehabilitate athletes.
This webinar will explore how advanced motion capture and biomechanical modelling can be translated into practical, actionable strategies for performance optimisation and injury prevention. Whether you are a sports scientist, coach, researcher, or clinician, you’ll gain insights into turning complex movement data into smarter decisions—from pushing the boundaries of elite human performance to designing more effective and personalised rehabilitation protocols. In this online seminar, we focus on advanced motion capture and biomechanical profiling, discussing their practical applications in athletic training and rehabilitation.
