We are dedicated to enhancing sports performance; improving human motor function;
understanding human motor control; and quantifying human motor performance.
Prof. Ahn says “We have a large force platform, a treadmill with pressure sensors, multiple motion capture cameras, EMG sensors, a wearable metabolic system, etc. However, the most valuable assets to our lab are the students. They are the ‘Avengers’ in the field of sports engineering, who have strong passion and expertise in either kinesiology, engineering or both.”

Our recent research
You ask:
As we become older, both our strength and endurance will decrease no matter how much we exercise. How and when will our motor ability begin to alter? Is there any critical age when our athletic performance is likely to change?

You ask:
When we walk or run on a treadmill, it feels so different from our over-ground exercise. Why so?
We answer: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-49272-0
You ask:
When we experience fatigue, we cannot balance well and may even fall. How can we resolve this?
