Using biomechanics human movement analysis software to measure water splashes has challenges given the characteristics of water. I am looking forward to seeing what AI approaches can bring. #AUT #Biomechanics #Manu

A rare moment in Strength & Conditioning: three academics on AUT staff at the same time, linked through a PhD supervision lineage — Prof John Cronin, Dr Eric Helms, and Dr Alyssa‑Joy Spence. Academic whakapapa in action. #PhDSupervision #StrengthAndConditioning #ResearchCulture

The Runit event ignores 25 years of research on minimising contact sport injury risk and instead promotes high impacts with poor tackle technique that have resulted in very high percentages of unconscious concussion. The injury risk is high. nzherald.co.nz/sport/local-c…

Zilch at the SPRINZ SKIPP writing retreat and we have some amazing records. I got three six dice straights in a row which is approx1 in 300 million chance of occurring. Elizabeth Taylor got the highest end game score ever recorded since we started playing in the 80’s.

Cullen performing a Manu off the wharf so we can test the splash to background contrast when we measure the splash characteristics.

Thank you Kane and Cullen for testing the ManuTech system at Vivian Bay Kawau Island before the first public Manu competition use in Wellington in four days time. We have proved it works well in the outdoor environment.

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. Japanese have basically a word for any concept that in other languages require lots of words (except German, obviously). The term compounds two Japanese words: iki [生き, meaning 'life; alive'] and kai (甲斐, meaning '(an) effect; (a) result; (a) fruit; (a) worth; (a) use; (a) benefit]. Interestingly, Ikigai has been the subject of many interdisciplnary studies. According to a study by Michiko Kumano, feeling ikigai usually means the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passions. National Geographic reporter Dan Buettner suggested ikigai may be one of the reasons for the longevity of the people of Okinawa. Studies have even shown that people who do not feel ikigai are more likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. [📈 dreamstime]

Kane when under ten years old, who is now an 18 year old student on the ManuTech protect, painted a glass for Piri when he was an AllBlack. He’ll look forward to finally giving the glass to his fav AllBlack in Wgtn when Piri completes the Manu competition!
