What better day than International Day of Women and Girls in Science to celebrate the recent appointment of Dr Steffi Colyer to Lecturer in Biomechanics within the University of Bath’s Department for Health? We caught up with Dr Colyer to find out a little more about her research. ‘I joined...
An exciting new project has been launched at CAMERA. Researchers James Cowburn, Dr Dario Cazzola, Dr Steffi Colyer and Dr Aki Salo will assess the movement forces on human lower limbs in low gravity settings using computer simulation and anti-gravity devices. A joint European Space Agency (ESA) – University of...
Another article by Dr Steffi Colyer and Dr Aki Salo (with researchers Dr Ryu Nagahara and Dr Yohei Takai) has been selected as the Editor’s Choice for December 2018 in the prestigious Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. How sprinters accelerate beyond the velocity plateau of soccer players:...
We have two new papers recently published. How sprinters accelerate beyond the velocity plateau of soccer players: Waveform analysis of ground reaction forces The forces applied to the ground during sprinting (as well as aerodynamic drag) directly determine an athlete’s acceleration, which is clearly important to many athletics events, but...
Dr Polly McGuigan has contributed to some noteworthy broadcasts recently, discussing some of her work outside of CAMERA, both on BBC 2 and BBC Radio 4. You can listen to Dr McGuigan discussing how fast a human can run on Radio 4 “The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry” which...
Dr Dario Cazzola has been awarded a research grant from the University of Bath International Relations Office that will support a new, international, collaborative project “Modelling and optimisation of human movement in sporting activities.” Musculoskeletal modelling is an advanced biomechanical method that allows the i) estimation of internal loads when...
A recent article by Dr Steffi Colyer and Dr Aki Salo in collaboration with Dr Ryu Nagahara (from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya, Kagoshima, Japan) has been selected as the Editor’s Choice for July 2018 in the prestigious Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports....
