Australian universities to host their own National Biomechanics Day in 2019

Following on from, and inspired by, the success of New Zealand's coordinated National Biomechanics Day, Australia will host its first coordinated National Biomechanics Day on Thursday April 4, 2019. While the US and many parts of the world will celebrate on April 10, this date is problematic for some states in Australia as school holidays will be in progress, thus making it difficult to get high school students to participate. As such, this alternative date of April 4 helps a

ABOUT ANZSB

The Society was founded in February 1996 to be a forum for biomechanists from a variety of disciplines, or areas of study, within Australia and New Zealand, to meet and communicate. We are a registered society and our ABN is 80 205 005 217. There are many areas in biomechanics including, for example, motor control, cardiovascular and respiratory biomechanics, rehabilitation biomechanics, sport biomechanics, bone and hard tissue biomechanics, connective tissue biomechanics, orthopaedic biomechanics, and cellular and molecular biomechanics, to name just some. We hope that ANZSB will be a forum for all areas of biomechanics to exchange ideas and experience.
