Albert Gollhofer is Professor and head of the Institute for Sport Science at the University of Freiberg. Previously he was Professor for biomechanics at the University of Stuttgart. He has supervised 29 PhD candidates and acted as external examiner at several institutions including the Universities of Calgary, St. Ettienne and Jyväskylä. Professor Gollhofer is currently President of the European College of Sport Science and serves on the editorial board for several journals including the Journal of Sports Medicine, European Journal of Applied Physiology, European Journal of Sport Science, Gait and Posture and Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise.
Professor Gollhofer has more than 75 international papers and book chapter contributions and 180 abstracts in international and national conferences. In light of his research in the area of applied sports biomechanics Professor Gollhofer is the 2009 Geoffrey Dyson Award recipient. The Geoffrey Dyson Award of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports recognises sport scientists who, throughout their professional careers, bridge the gap between biomechanics research and practice in sport. It is the most prestigious award of ISBS because it is a recognition of individuals who embody and carry out the mission of the Society.
Adamantios Arampatzis is Professor and chair of the Department of Training and Movement Sciences at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He was a Professor and head of the research group focusing on neuro-biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system in the Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopaedics at the German Sport University Cologne from 2000 to 2008.
He has published over 70 refereed journal papers on human sciences including high level sport performance activities, dynamic stability control, joint mechanics and muscle-tendon unit adaptation. Among his research interests are the plasticity of the musculoskeletal system to exercise and the influence of the neuromuscular capacity of the human system on motor task behaviour during daily and sport activities.
Professor Elliott is the senior biomechanist and Head of the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health at the University of Western Australia. He has a keen interest in performance optimization and injury reduction in sport having published over 180 refereed articles, 80 refereed conference proceedings, along with 50 books or book chapters on these topics. He has currently supervised 44 Honours, 18 Masters and 16 PhD students to completion of their theses. He is an editorial board member of Sports Biomechanics (USA), Journal of Applied Biomechanics (USA), Journal of Sports Sciences (UK) and the International Journal of Sport and Health Sciences (Japan). Bruce was the Keynote speaker at the 1st World Congress on Racket Sports, the 1st World Congress of Cricket and the 3rd World Congress of Medicine and Science in Tennis.
He was honoured by the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports by being asked to give their Geoffrey Dyson Lecture, has been made a fellow of that organization and was their President from 2003-5. Similarly he has delivered the Refshauge Lecture for Sports Medicine Australia, and he was a fellow of that organization. He gave the Frank Cotton Memorial Lecture at the 3rd Australian Association of Exercise and Sports Science Conference (2008) and he also served as their inaugural Vice-President (sport science).
He has been a Keynote speaker at each International Tennis Federation Conference from 2001 - 2007 (Thailand – 2001; Portugal – 2003; Turkey 2005; Paraguay – 2007). He was the inaugural chair of the Western Australian Institute of Sport (1984-1994) and served as the Scientific Chair for the 5th IOC World Congress on Sport Sciences and supervised the research projects at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
In 1999 he was honoured with the Award of Merit by the Western Australian Sports Federation and in 2003 the Professional Tennis Registry gave him the Stanley Plagenhoef Sport Science Award for “his lifetime contribution to tennis” and the Australian Government awarded him their Centenary Medal for “service to sport policy and research development for sport”. In 2006 the University of Western Australia presented him with an Excellence in Research Supervision Award, for his supervision of Honours students, which was followed in 2008 with an Excellence in Teaching Award.
Professor David G Kerwin is Professor of Biomechanics in the Cardiff School of Sport, UK. His research focuses on developing and applying measurement techniques in sport and exercise, including analyses of performances in competitive environments. He is a Principal Investigator on a four year multi-centre research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK (EPSRC) to develop motion and biological tracking applications that have measurable impact on the training of elite athletes.
David has been part of the International Olympic Committee's Medical Commission research projects at four Summer Olympic Games and is a member of the International Gymnastics Federation Science Commission. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
Young-Hoo is currently a Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Biomechanics Laboratory at Texas Woman’s University, Denton, Texas, USA. He is originally from Korea and finished his BS (Astronomy) and MEd (PE-Biomechanics) degrees at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. He received his PhD (Exercise Science-Biomechanics) degree from the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA.
His research interests include motion analysis, sport & human mobility biomechanics, and computer applications in sports/biomechanics. He is currently an ISBS Fellow (2008-) and has served the Society as the VP of Publications (2002-2007) and the Editor of Sports Biomechanics (2007-).
Dr Clare Milner received her undergraduate (University of Durham) and graduate (University of Leeds) degrees in the UK and received post-doctoral training in the USA (Penn State University, University of Delaware). She remains in the US and is currently on the faculty of the Department of Exercise, Sport, and Leisure Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Dr Milner’s area of research interest is the biomechanics of lower extremity injury and rehabilitation. In particular, she focuses on stress fractures in runners and gait after total knee replacement. She publishes her work regularly in the biomechanics and sports medicine literature.
Dr Cassie Wilson is currently a Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics and the Director of Studies for the Sport and Exercise Science degree programme at the University of Bath, UK. Cassie completed her PhD at Loughborough University in 2003 under the supervision of Professor Fred Yeadon and Dr Mark King.
Her research interests fall into three main themes namely; optimisation of running jumps incorporating forward dynamics modelling, motor control and learning with a specific focus on the influence of inter segmental coupling and the associated variability, and thirdly the application of biomechanical principles to training theory with the aim of making training more effective and efficient.
