Conference of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports 2024

Last week, our research group attended the Conference of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports.

PhD student Alex Pürzel together with Assoc. Prof. Hans Kainz hosted a two-hour applied science session on powerlifting biomechanics, which was a great success.

Additionally, Alex presented his latest research on powerlifting in the Young Investigator Award Session.
