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 […]

Last week we finally (after several lockdowns and COVID restrictions) had the chance and time to organize a social event again.This time we went wakeboarding at the cable park in the Danube Island in Vienna. After a few hours of more or less successful wakeboarding (including some high impact experiments) we enjoyed some well-deserved burgers. […]
