Biomechanics in Sport and Ageing: Artificial Intelligence
We are delighted to welcome you to participate in the webinar entitled “Biomechanics in Sport and Ageing: Artificial Intelligence”. Sport and ageing are often studied as separate domains, yet both share a common goal: understanding human movement to improve performance, function, health, and quality of life across the lifespan. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, and computational approaches are rapidly transforming how movement can be measured and analyzed in both research and real-world environments.
This webinar will bring together researchers working across biomechanics, sport science, ageing, physiotherapy, and artificial intelligence to discuss recent advances, emerging technologies, and future directions in the field. Topics will include AI-enabled movement analysis, wearable sensing technologies, biomechanics outside of traditional laboratory settings, and the translation of these approaches into sport and health applications.
We warmly welcome our speakers and attendees to this webinar and look forward to the engaging discussions and perspectives that will emerge.
