A close-up photograph of soccer player Lionel Messi. He has brown hair parted to the side, a full beard, and a serious expression looking straight ahead. He is wearing an Argentina national team jersey with black and light blue horizontal stripes. The white Adidas logo on the right side of his chest and the gold AFA (Argentine Football Association) crest with two stars on the left are clearly visible. The background is out of focus.

What Makes Lionel Messi Different? Biomechanics Helps Explain It

When people talk about the world’s greatest football player, they often think of speed, power, or physical ability. However, a recent analysis by Gert-Jan Pepping, a researcher and Professor of Human Movement Science at Australian Catholic University, offers a very different explanation: one of Lionel Messi’s greatest strengths is not in his legs, but in […]

Cartel publicitario de estilo vintage y retro-futurista para las Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas de STT Systems y 3DMA. La imagen principal muestra un laboratorio de captura de movimiento de alta tecnología con vistas al horizonte de Barcelona, incluyendo la Sagrada Familia, a través de un gran ventanal. En el interior, cuatro personas participan: un técnico con polo oscuro y tableta observa, una mujer camina con un traje de seguimiento biomecánico negro con marcadores, un hombre corre en una cinta de correr de diseño de madera con el mismo traje, y un ciclista está en una bicicleta estática inteligente (rodillo) con traje y marcadores. Líneas de láser rojo y puntos de seguimiento conectan a los atletas con monitores de ordenador que muestran gráficos esqueléticos y datos biomecánicos. Los textos principales en la parte superior son "OPEN HOUSE DAYS!" y "FREE SHOWROOM - 3DMA SYSTEM (FREE!)!". En la pared hay un calendario que dice "JUNE 30". En la parte inferior, un banner dorado detalla "LIVE MOTION CAPTURE: CYCLING - RUNNING - GAIT" con "WITH BIOMECHANICS PROFESSIONALS". Incluye un pequeño icono de cohete y el lema "Come, Test, and Take Off". Abajo del todo dice "LIMITED SPOTS.". El estilo es elegante, con colores azul marino, crema y dorado.
