ISBS Mid Year Symposia

ISBS SYM21 HEADER

COVID-19 forced us all to adjust to how we share information and resulted in the 2020 ISBS Conference being presented online, albeit in a shortened form. Building on that success, ISBS held its first Virtual Symposium on February 4th and 5th, 2021. 

Topics included presentations from leading researchers and practitioners in Elite Sport, the Female Athlete, Teaching Biomechanics, Neural Networks, Sprint Biomechanics, Baseball Biomechanics, and Mentoring Womxn in Sport Biomechanics. In addition, special meetings took place such as the Mother’s Café, and a Student Fireside Chat Session.
