Nigg Biomechanics Lab

The Nigg Biomechanics Lab, associated with the University of Alberta in Canada, focuses on understanding human movement and the mechanics of the body. Researchers study how forces affect movement, particularly in sports and physical activities, using advanced technology like motion capture and force platforms. Their work aims to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and enhance rehabilitation methods. By analyzing how the body interacts with its environment, the lab contributes valuable insights into ergonomics, footwear design, and overall physical health, helping individuals move more efficiently and safely.
