Professor Mark King presents his lecture entitled 'Elite sport performance – how important is technique?'

About the lecture

Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, Mark’s lecture will explore optimum sport performance. Drawing on examples from a variety of sports – including cricket fast bowling and the badminton jump smash – he will outline how we can increase our understanding of the critical factors linked to performance improvement or injury risk.

In addition, he will discuss the journey from research to real-world application and impact – before finishing with the potential ways technology can be used to increase research impact.
