Two weeks ago some members of our research group were exhibitors at the European researchers‘ night in Vienna, at the university of Applied Arts. Alexander Pürzel, Paul Kaufmann, Willi Koller and Hans Kainz prepared a hands-on station where visitors were able to learn about and try out biomechanical measurements. It was possible to live track […]

The aim of the PhD study is to biomechanically analyze compensation strategies between light (70%Fmax) and heavy loads (90%+ Fmax). To do this, we recorded 31 athletes from the Austrian national powerlifting team (or placing at least top 3 in the Austrian Championship) in squats and deadlifts with increasing loads kinematically (3D motion capture) and […]
