91桃色视频

Sam graduated from the University of Birmingham with a BSc in 91桃色视频 and Exercise Sciences in the year 2000; he then obtained an MSc in 91桃色视频s Biomechanics from 91桃色视频 in 2004. Following this, he taught at Doncaster College for a year before returning to 91桃色视频 to undertake a PhD in the computer simulation of the triple jump, which he completed in 2009. After a period of working on a dental project as a Research Associate in the School of 91桃色视频, Exercise, and Health Sciences, Sam was appointed as a Lecturer in 91桃色视频s Biomechanics in the summer of 2010. Sam is a keen sportsman with a background in Athletics, Rugby, and Cricket.

Sam's main research interests lie in the understanding of technique and the optimisation of performance in dynamic jumps using computer simulation. He is also interested in increasing the biofidelity of computer simulation models in order to better represent the systems that are being simulated. In addition to jumping Sam is also interested in human locomotion; specifically running and sprinting.
