Anne E. Atwater, PhD
During my University of Arizona career (1969-2003), the primary focus of my research was on the biomechanical analysis of human motion. I took high-speed films of performers, including Olympic and professional athletes as well as students, from which I obtained measures of kinematic and kinetic variables. My quantitative and descriptive analyses of human motion often included references to performance related injuries.
In addition to research, I was heavily involved with administrative responsibilities for the Physiology undergraduate program from 1991-2003.
