Tennis is widely played across the world and is known for its technical complexity. Achieving excellence in this sport requires a combination of natural talent, quality coaching, the right equipment, and a solid understanding of sports science. Biomechanics plays a vital role in player development. Every tennis stroke follows basic mechanical principles, and many injuries […]

Erik Elvgren is an experienced animator and producer who works at the University of Virginia. He is behind the creation of “The Adventures of Cavman”, a short pre-produced video package on the big stadium’s big screen that shows Virginia’s football mascot in a virtual battle with the opposing team’s mascot, as a way to get […]

An optical motion capture system is an extremely powerful tool for the professional into the motion analysis. It provides an accurate tracking of anatomical points, and if the right analysis protocols are used, the resulting data will help determine pathologies and assess the evolution of a person’s biomechanics. The Faculty of Physio Therapy of the […]

The International Conference of Biomechanics in Sports is an annual conference organised by ISBS (International Society of Biomechanics in Sports).
