Dr Mark King is a Professor of Sports Biomechanics in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University investigating optimum performance and minimizing injury risk across a broad range of sports including gymnastics, cricket, athletics, badminton, swimming and tennis. Over the last 25 years Mark has developed the field of subject-specific computer simulation modelling including advances in determining subject-specific parameters, incorporating wobbling masses, optimising human movement, incorporating biarticular effects, and modelling the transmission of force through the body using visco-elastic elements within joints. Mark has a breadth of experience with international groups; Chair of the International Society of Biomechanics Technical Group on Computer Simulation for eight years, Fellow of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, and being a part of Badminton World Federation’s Injury Prevention Working Group and the International Cricket Council’s Bowling Legality Group.
