Two LU students named finalists for international award

Apr. 4, 2022

Two Lakeland University exercise science research students have been announced as finalists for the 2022 International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS) New Investigator award. The students are Brian Biggs and Megan Gold for the studies listed below:

• Biggs, B. R. Frisk, H. L., M. E. Gold, M. Blankenship, and W. P. Ebben. Biomechanical analysis of tire flipping with tires of different masses and their potential specificity to sprinting. International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, 2022 Conference, Liverpool, UK, July 21-25, 2022.
• Gold, M.E., H.L. Frisk, B.R. Biggs, M. Blankenship, and W. P. Ebben. Biomechanical analysis of acceleration ladders with varying step distances. International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, 2022 Conference, Liverpool, UK, July 21-25, 2022.

Winners of the award will be announced after the ISBS annual conference in Liverpool, England, where these students and other Lakeland exercise science students will travel to present four studies.

Student members of ISBS and full members who, at the time of the annual conference, have graduated with their terminal degree (master's or doctoral) within the past two years are eligible for consideration. Lakeland undergraduate exercise science students took third place for this award in both 2019 and 2021.
