Henry Hunter

Henry Hunter is a Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Computing, focusing on Programming, Web Design, and System Configuration. His research is conducted within the School of Science and Sport, where he explores Sport Biomechanics, Gait, and Human Locomotion. Previously, he held roles at Compaq Computer Corporation as a Logistics Analyst and Hewlett-Packard as a Test Engineer.

His research interests include analyzing human movement to enhance athletic performance and reduce injuries, particularly in athletics hammer throw and golf. He employs advanced techniques like three-dimensional video analysis and electromyography (EMG) to study biomechanical factors. Key areas of focus are forearm muscle activity during grip and wrist movements, golf swing mechanics using low-cost video tools, and the impact of fatigue on joint proprioception in athletes.

His publications emphasize biomechanical analysis in sports, particularly golf and athletics. Recent work includes studies on forearm muscle reliability via EMG, optimizing golf swing parameters with video analysis, and evaluating fatigue's impact on joint proprioception. Earlier research investigated grip size effects on golf performance, showcasing a consistent focus on improving athletic performance through technological and physiological insights.

Collaborations with organizations such as Scottish Athletics, England Athletics, and British Athletics highlight his commitment to applied sports research. He aims to bridge academic findings with practical applications in athletic training and performance enhancement.
