Doctoral thesis defence Jonas Enqvist
On 19 September, Jonas Enqvist, doctoral student at GIH, will defend his thesis "The biomechanics of lower limb load during high-load sports-relevant movements".
About the thesis
This thesis aims to attain new knowledge on how physical readiness affects knee joint loading during high force movements by using musculoskeletal modelling, and in addition, evaluate different other potential measures of lower limb loading.
The Swedish title of the thesis is "Biomekaniken av nedre extremitetens belastning under högbelastade idrottsrelevanta rörelser".
