معرفی
Chris Hughes is a Senior Lecturer (Biomechanics) at the University of Worcester's School of Sport and Exercise Science. He holds a BSc in Sports Science from Liverpool John Moores University and an MPhil in Biomechanical Analysis of Forefoot During Locomotion from the same institution. Prior to his academic career, he earned a degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Southampton University, which influences his interdisciplinary approach to biomechanics.
Education:
- BSc Sports Science, Liverpool John Moores University (1995)
- MPhil Sports Science - Biomechanical Analysis of Forefoot During Locomotion
- Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
- BSc in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, Southampton University
Research Interests: Focuses on biomechanical analysis of sports techniques, kinetics/kinematics of locomotion, and the mechanical design of sports equipment. Combines engineering principles with sport science to optimize performance and injury prevention. Specializes in forefoot morphology's impact on movement patterns.
Teaching: Leads modules including Introduction to Scientific Study of Sport, Biomechanical Analysis of Sports Techniques, and Biomechanics for Sports Therapists. Emphasizes practical application of biomechanical principles in both undergraduate and applied settings.
Labs/Teams: No specific labs or teams explicitly mentioned, but his work likely integrates with sport science facilities at the University of Worcester.
