Keynote Speakers

Opening Lecture: July 14, 17:00~18:00
	Dr. John Ostarello Dept. of Kinesiology California State Univ, East Bay USA	History of ISBS
Geoffrey Dyson Lecture: July 15, 8:30~9:30
	Dr. Fred Yeadon Simulation of Sports School of Sport & Exercise Sciences Loughborough Univ. UK	Computer simulation of twisting somersaults, gymnastics, high jumping, diving and the control of sports movements
Keynote 1: July 15, 14:00~15:00
	Dr. Hermann Schwameder Institut für Sport und Sportwissenschaft Germany	Aspects and challenges of applied sport biomechanics research
Keynote 2: July 16, 8:30~9:30
	Dr. Gerald Smith Laboratorium for bevegelsesanalyse Norges idrettshøgskole Norway	Mechanical and Physiological Interactions in Cross-Country Skiing Cross-country skiing is an unusual locomotion form for humans in that it is quadripedal and relies on propulsive force generation from both legs and upper body. This allows distribution of workload adaptations through technique choice along with force and timing adjustment. Such choices influence effectiveness of force application through skis and poles and influence metabolic costs. This talk will explore these interactions and their implications for performance
Keynote 3: July 16, 14:00~15:00
	Dr. Timothy R. Derrick Dept. of Health and Human Performance Iowa State University USA	Musculoskeletal loading and the implications for injury Assessing the potential for injury during human movement is a difficult process. Stresses within the body are difficult to measure directly and surrogate measures may be difficult to interpret. This talk will examine the common parameters we use to assess injury potential and look at the advantages and disadvantages of each. Ground reaction forces, segment accelerations, joint contact forces, bone stresses and bone strains will be covered
Keynote 4: July 17, 8:30~9:30
	Dr. Walter Herzog Faculty of Kinesiology University of Calgary Canada	The Biomechanics of Muscle Contraction: Optimizing Sport Performance What I would try to talk about is some basic muscle mechanics, force-length properties, force-velocity and power-velocity relationships and then relate these properties to optimal sport performance. I would likely take as an example the sport of cycling where we have done some optimal performance simulation theoretically, have looked at force-length property of muscles in cyclists, and presently we investigate the fibre behaviour in vivo during cycling and relate it to the force-length behaviour of the knee extensors, which I hope that will be ready by this summer for presentation
Keynote 5: July 18, 8:30~9:30
	Dr. Michiyoshi Ae Institute of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Tsukuba Japan	A biomechanical method for the evaluation of sports techniques by standard motion, motion variability and motion deviation The essential but most difficult steps in an optimization loop of sports techniques are the evaluation and diagnosis of the techniques of students and/or athletes, and the identification of their technical faults and limiting factors. This process is frequently referred to as technique analysis in sport biomechanics but the concept of technical analysis is less well developed. Teachers and coaches frequently adopt a model technique or a template of model performance approach in which sequential pictures and figures of an outstanding athlete or skilled performer are used as a motion pattern model. This paper proposes a biomechanical method for the evaluation of sports techniques in which an averaged motion pattern of skilled performers is used as a standard motion, and motion variability and motion deviation are employed as indices to identify critical technical points and faults of a client.
