Excited to see work from our group highlighted in Texas Engineer magazine. A research focus in our lab is sports biomechanics and we love to see our work translate into training insights for cycling🚴, baseball ⚾️, gymnastics🤸and more!

What’s the most important part of research? Communicating it!

I had an amazing time talking about the #biomechanics of #gymnastics with @utmechengr @utexasNMBL

🚨 New publication alert! @utexasNMBL
My 2 new papers on the #Biomechanics of the #BalanceBeam are finally out!
The 1st talks about the 3 techniques we discovered that gymnasts use to do a back handspring 🤸‍♀️

The 2nd paper goes deeper using #Modeling & #Simulation to look at the differences in the techniques.
(Here's where I hear Rick Neptune @utexasNMBL saying back in my day you could just write 1 long paper with both experimental & simulation data 😁)
