STT Systems launches a course in cycling biomechanics in collaboration with Gerardo Lozano from Clínica Podotec. The objective is to learn how to maximise the potential of a 3D system, understand the data and translate it into an effective bike fitting process.

INSTRUCTOR
Gerardo Lozano holds a diploma in Podiatry from the University of Extremadura. He is a professional specialising in biomechanics who has been treating athletes, especially cyclists, for many years at the Podotec Clinic, which he owns and manages. He is the sports podiatrist and biomechanist for many World Tour cyclists and has worked in recent years with teams such as Israel Cycling Academy, Team Manzana Postobón (Colombia) and Caja Rural Seguros RGA, among others. He combines his work in the field at the clinic with his work in the classroom, where he teaches classes on biomechanics applied to cycling at various universities, such as Miguel Hernández University in Elche, UCAM in Murcia, San Vicente Mártir Catholic University in Valencia, and La Salle University (Madrid).
PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Will there be live capture sessions? Yes. The course includes both theoretical and practical sessions, with live capture demonstrations.
Do I need a 3D system to attend? No. The course is open to anyone interested in learning about cycling biomechanics. 3D systems will be used, but prior experience is not required.
What does the price include besides the course? It includes course materials and meals.
Is a certificate provided? Yes. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate from STT Systems confirming attendance and detailing the qualification obtained.
