Tron Krosshaug

Tron Krosshaug is a Professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, focusing on sports injury prevention and biomechanics. He leads the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center and teaches strength/endurance training, biomechanics, motion analysis, and functional anatomy.

• Education: PhD thesis on "Video analysis of the mechanisms for ACL injuries" (2006)
• Entrepreneurial Work: Founder of Muscle Animations, developing 3D strength training animations and apps downloaded by >35,000 Norwegians

Research Interests include biomechanical analysis of ACL, ankle, and head injuries in team/alpine sports, with emphasis on motion analysis, risk factor identification, and machine learning applications for injury prediction. His work explores cutting technique, knee abduction moments, and real-time feedback systems.

Key Scientific Contributions involve debunking myths about knee motion as injury predictors, validating laboratory simulations against real-world injury mechanics, and quantifying the impact of footwear and training interventions on ankle/knee biomechanics.
