Description
This PhD course will be organized for the fifth time as a continuation of previous symposiums on physical activity and human performance. This year’s PhD course will also provide new knowledge related to the use of technologies for the assessment of physical performance among for instance youngsters and elderlies, trained or untrained adults. Lectures will cover measurement of human characteristics and capabilities, achievement of optimal efficiency, improvement of performance, technologies in sports and injury prevention in sports and at work.
This course will provide the audience with recent findings in sport sciences in a broad sense covering physical activity during leisure time and at work. Internationally recognized speakers as well as speakers from Aalborg University will be invited. The addressed topics will include for neuromechanics, motor control, biomechanics, ergonomics, exercise physiology, telerehabilitation (programs and technologies) as well as modelling.
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 in due time. It will be possible to follow the PhD course remotely (all lectures will also be transmitted online).
Literature
A reading list with relevant papers and book chapters will be announced 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.
