On Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd of February we will focus on running related research at the University of Twente, together with Roessingh Research and Development. On Thursday February 2 nd we will have the public PhD defence of Marit Zandbergen (starting at 16:30). The topic of her thesis is “Moving forwards by going outside: inertial measurement unit-based monitoring of running biomechanics”. One day later (Friday February 3rd ) Luca Marotta will defend his thesis “Development of inertial sensor-based methods to asses physical fatigue in running applications“ (starting at 14:30). Both defences are open to the public and registration is not needed.
Connected to both defences we will host the mini symposium “Running Forwards”, where current developments and future directions in research on running and runners will be presented. The minisymposium will focus on fundamental and applied research on running related injuries while taken into account the runners’ as well as the clinical perspective.
In short:
Thursday February 2, 2023 PhD Defence Marit Zandbergen (starting at 16:30)
Friday February 3, 2023 Mini Symposium “Running Forwards” (starts at 9:30, ends at 13:00)
Friday February 3, 2023 PhD Defence Luca Marotta (starting at 14:30)
The symposium is open to everyone with an interest in sports and/or running related research. Please register for the symposium at latest Friday January 28 by sending an email to secretariat-bss-eemcs@utwente.nl stating your name and affiliation
