The Biomechanics Laboratory
| The Biomechanics Laboratory is dedicated to conducting projects and demonstrations with exercise, clinical relevance, athletics and educational purpose. Research projects are developed through collaborations with Health and Kinesiology Faculty and Clinicians. Educational programs are focused on how application of biomechanical principles can be used in exercise prescription, injury rehabilitation, athletic performance and physical education. |
