Welcome to the European Society of Biomechanics (ESBiomech)
European Society of Biomechanics
The European Society of Biomechanics was founded in 1976 in a meeting in Brussels with 20 scientists from 11 countries. It is now the largest Biomechanics society in Europe with over 700 members.
The primary goal of the ESB is to encourage, foster, promote and develop research, progress and information concerning the science of Biomechanics.
The 19th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB2013) will be held at the Conference and Cultural Centre of the University of Patras, Greece, between 25-28 August 2013. www.esbiomech2013.org/
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a beautiful, historic city on the Atlantic Ocean. Lisbon has been a point of cultural interchange and encounter for many centuries for visitors and people coming from all over the world. It is a safe and pleasant city where delegates and their companions will feel at ease and will be very well received. Lisbon has a very good weather, in July is mostly sunny and dry, with mildly hot temperatures between 16°C to 30°C. Lisbon location and airport infrastructures make it easily accessible to visitors from all parts of the world. The conference will be held at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), the Engineering School of the Technical University of Lisbon, and organized by an experienced team from IST chaired by Paulo Fernandes, João Folgado and Miguel Silva.

The ESB-2009 Workshop took place on 7-9 June 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, on the topic of Movement Biomechanics and Sport.
The workshop was structured into the following themes:
Introduction to the movement of the human body: Movement and loading during activities and the consequences on the musculoskeletal system, with a focus on soft tissue.
Material response – mechanical effects of loading: The effects of movement and loading on the entire musculoskeletal system, with a focus on soft tissue. What causes health problems, what can be tolerated?
System adaptation – long term effects of loading: Longterm effects of load, adaptation of material (micro), development of injury, interventions and therapies (macro).
