Background

I received my Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland in 2002. My research interests involve motor control and neuromuscular adaptation along with sports biomechanics, especially in Nordic winter sports. I have worked in different positions in University of Jyväskylä since 1992. In addition, I have almost 30 years of experience in basketball, including 8 years in top league player and over 20 years as a coach in different adult and junior series. I am currently working in the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences (Biology of Physical Activity), University of Jyväskylä as a professor in Sports Technology in Vuokatti, Finland.
