BASES BIG Meeting 2021
25th March 2021
The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Biomechanics Interest Group (BIG) 2021 Meeting, will be held (virtually) at Solent University Southampton on Friday 9 April.
The
free-to-attend event, in association with the National Biomechanics Day (NBD)
initiative, will be a celebration of all things biomechanics, “the breakthrough
science of the 21st century”
There will be dedicated sessions on both clinical
and sports biomechanics to reflect the environments that biomechanists operate
in. There will also be links made to associated disciplines of Sports
Engineering, Strength and Conditioning, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Under the
conference theme, there will be a range of features including keynote lectures
and workshops from leading academics, researchers, and practitioners. View the event programme.
Keynote Speakers include:
Prof Janie L Wilson PhD
Professor of Surgery, Biomedical Engineering, and
Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University.
Dr Philip Graham-Smith
Head of Biomechanics and Innovation, Aspire Academy
Dr Martin Warner
Lecturer in Health Sciences, University of
Southampton
Dr Laura Jade Elstub
Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the CREATe lab at
Vanderbilt University
Shane King
PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering in the Center
for Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology at Vanderbilt
University in Nashville, TN
Maura Eveld
Maura is a mechanical engineering PhD student at
Vanderbilt University's Center for Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive
Technology
Cameron Nurse
Mechanical engineering PhD student at Vanderbilt
University in the Center for Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive
Technology.
The deadline for abstract
submissions is: Monday 29 March 2021
Abstracts are invited in the following biomechanics-related themes:
- Sports Biomechanics
