U.S. Figure Skaters undergo UD biomechanics testing
For years, U.S. Figure Skating has been sending athletes to the University of Delaware ice rink to analyze the biomechanics of their technique on the ice. The team of UD students, led by biomechanics professor James Richards, analyzes the data and offers immediate feedback to the skaters and their coaches on what’s needed to perfect their positioning in the air, increasing the probably of landing their jumps.
