LUNEX invites you to the Professional Workshop: Biomechanical modelling for sport performance and recovery (no programming skills required).

Our Visiting Fellow in Clinical Biomechanics, Dr Bernard XW Liew, supported by colleagues experts in advanced statistics and biomechanical modelling:

• Dr Ziyun Ding in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics, from the University of Birmingham
• Dr. Zainab Altai in Musculoskeletal Modelling, from the University of Essex
• Qingyao Bian in Musculoskeletal Modelling, from the University of Birmingham

will deliver a unique workshop on exploiting the power of the OpenSim biomechanical modelling platform to support sports performance improvement, injury recovery and prevention.

Overview

This two-day workshop is designed to introduce participants to the foundational and practical aspects of biomechanics and musculoskeletal (MSK) modelling. It aims to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical skills, empowering participants to apply state-of-the-art motion capture, simulation, and modelling techniques in working settings.

Through a combination of lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will learn to work with motion capture data, convert it into formats compatible with OpenSim, and use modelling tools to assess dynamics and kinematics for recovery and performance improvement. This workshop is tailored for professionals, researchers, and students who seek to integrate modelling into their work as a professional advanced digital tool for sport science, coaching and sport recovery.

Venue: LUNEX – room C1.10
