Description:
This course will be organized for the second time as a continuation of previous symposiums on physical activity and human performance. This PhD course will focus on performance and technology using an athletic approach. More specifically, aspects related to the assessment of human characteristics and capabilities, achievement of optimal efficiency, improvement of performance, comfort enhancement and safety will be addressed.
This PhD course will provide the audience relevant and recent research in sport sciences based on quantitative research addressing various form of physical activity. Internationally recognized speakers and speakers from Aalborg University will be invited. The addressed topics will include for instance: motor control, exercise physiology, biomechanics, ergonomics, and neuromechanics.
A special emphasis will be given on the speakers-student interaction. The detailed agenda of the course will be provided on the course web site.
Literature: Relevant papers and book chapters will be announced shortly before the course.
Prerequisites: The students participating to this course should have basic knowledge on anatomy, physiology and methods to assess human performance by means of quantitative methods.
Evaluation: Evaluation will be announced at the course.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
