Biomechanics - interpretation and implementation

Synopsis

Along with the principal presenter, this presentation will combine a small group of specialist sports science coaching staff which will include Jodi Cossor (Biomechanics), Tom Vandenbogaerde (Exercise Physiology, Dean Benton (Strength and Conditioning and Nutrition), Vincent Walsh (Professor of Brain Research) and Taisuke Kinugasa (Performance Analyst from Japan Institute of Sport).

This presentation will focus on applied biomechanical competition and training analysis, and its critical interpretation and understanding and acceptance by the coaching team. This critical information will then be supported and delivered to the training and preparation model of the athlete by the entire team of sports science personnel and coaching staff. It would be expected that biomechanical change is best delivered to the athlete and implemented in the most positive and efficient way by the entire coaching and sports science staff.

A winning team approach led by biomechanics on a personal basis would provide greater opportunity for optimal performance for the individual athlete. This highlights the need for a team approach based on efficient change through the leadership of accurate biomechanical interpretation. It is envisaged that this concept, whilst being innovative and creative will challenge the normal and accepted approach that has been utilised by many in the past.

It will address the neurological aspects of accelerated change of motor pathway learning for the benefit of the individual athlete. This will also address a fully integrated learning model for the team staff.
