Speed and Agility in Sport
Agility and speed is vital to success in team sport competition with the trunk argued to play a key role in sport performance. Our Exercise & Sport Science research is exploring the critical factors that optimise athletic performance. These include investigating the relationship between three-dimensional agility technique, trunk control and field-based measures of athletic performance. Our sporting partners include the Australian Institute of Sport and Basketball Australia.
