This project investigates biomechanical risk factors associated with non-specific low back pain in road cyclists. Using motion capture and isokinetic core strength testing, spinal movement patterns and muscular deficits are analyzed during cycling under controlled laboratory conditions and highly realistic treadmill cycling with the athlete’s own bicycle. The goal is to better understand how segmental […]

Recreational fishing is seeing increasing numbers of fish caught and released, either because individual fishers choose not to harvest for personal or conservation reasons, or because fishing regulations allow few numbers or sizes of fish to be harvested. However, if released fish become less catchable for future fishers, this may lead to decreasing catch rate, […]
