Motion analysis, modelling and simulation

 


My research focuses on understanding the role of lower-limb biomechanics in tennis serve performance and injury risk. I adopt an integrated approach to analyze energy transfer along the kinetic chain, from the ground to the racket. By combining motion capture analysis and modelling, I investigate how force production influences serve performance parameters and upper-limb loading, with the aim of providing scientific support for performance optimization and injury prevention.
