ESB-2009 Workshop: Movement Biomechanics and Sport
 
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). 


A report on the presentations and awards that took place at the workshop is contained in the Autumn 2009 newsletter: http://www.esbiomech.org/Section/newsletter
