Aaron Balloch

Aaron Balloch serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia, specializing in biomechanics and sports performance analysis through advanced kinematic modeling and pose estimation technologies.

His research spans Sports Science, Biomechanics, and Adaptive Sports, with emphasis on athletic performance optimization in both able-bodied contexts (e.g., pole vault) and wheelchair sports. Key methodologies include kinematic analysis, Euclidean distance calculations, and center-of-mass tracking to evaluate movement efficiency and physical characteristics.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a concentrated focus on applying computer vision to sports performance, particularly in wheelchair basketball biomechanics and pole vault technique analysis. Collaborative work with sports scientists addresses critical gaps in understanding physical demands for Paralympic athletes and developing pose estimation models for field-based kinematic assessment.
