End-of-semester means some "free" time to tinker with #biomechanics projects, like this "bullet time" animation of a discus throw 😀 Happy holidays, everyone.

Our lab is off to Tucson, AZ to collect data at the 2024 North American Open Finals. Come find us if you want to geek out about #biomechanics of #weightlifting, like this amazing 200kg jerk by 81kg lifter Dae Hee Kwon from South Korea at this year's World Jr Championships.

One of the most impressive lifts from the 2024 IWF Jr WC's in Leon, Spain. This was Guan Ling Chen's 98kg snatch from the 55kg A session. Totally amazing. @DaneChamps and I talk a bit more in depth about weightlifting in this podcast, recorded in Leon! youtube.com/watch?v=njdE_oKc…

Upgraded our hammer throw #biomechanics analysis. Added a ball force vector to better understand patterns of force application. The increase in the tangential force during double support is pretty cool to see. Also include single/double support phases and high/low points.

Putting the final touches on my presentations for the European Shot Put Conference this weekend in Tallinn, 🇪🇪. And yes, one of them will focus on the discus😀

I recently had the opportunity to travel with @USWeightlifting to Leon, Spain, for the @iwfnet Jr World Champs to conduct in-comp biomechanical analyses. It was an amazing experience. Thanks to so many people, but especially @MarcosASoriano1 for your help and hospitality.

It's hammer #biomechanics time! The tracking is not quite there yet, and it took us longer than expected to get to this point, but thanks to our amazing grad student Emma Patterson for her perseverance. We're super excited. Happy Friday!

First "to-do" upon returning to the office after summer break and watching Rojé Stona throw 70m in the men's discus final in the Olympics was to go back and analyze his 69m throw at Throw Town Ramona earlier this year.

Part 2/4 of our #biomechanics report on Alekna's discus WR throw is now up on @hmmrmedia. It examines foot contact patterns and sub-phases of the delivery - perfect for anyone who's ever pondered the importance of double support during the delivery😀 hmmrmedia.com/2024/07/analyz… x.com/MUSportScience/status/…

Early morning trail run up the #Gaisberg merits an extra bowl of the best @KelloggCompany breakfast cereal ever - #Chocos!!! Hopefully it'll also help minimize DOMS for the remainder of @isbs_conference

We packed up cameras and force plates and drove to Pittsburgh for @USWeightlifting Nationals. Emma and @WandaSihanath even put together a poster & QR code with cool #weightlifting #biomechanics stuff. Anyone in Pittsburgh who wants to talk shop let me know, I'll buy coffee!

Quick follow-up to my last post on GRFs during #weightlifting exercises. For us the catch phase = time between peak (-) and 0 velocity i.e., the catch "starts" when the lifter is able to slow the "fall" of the bar & GRF exceed SW (not when GRF "spikes" and feet make contact).
