The AIS has been working with ACEMS on topics around sports physiology. Predictive models of athlete performance using the countermovement jump were developed to characterise fatigue as a tool to support coaches and decision makers to optimise training. Separately, statistical analysis of postural control experimental data revealed the prominent role that visual cues play in maintaining balance in addition to the inner ear. This work was undertaken by ACEMS Associate Investigator Dr Paul Wu, Chief Investigator Kerrie Mengersen, and ACEMS students Nicholas Sterkenburg and Lawrence Garufi.
