Meihui (Alice) Li, PhD Student
Supervisor: Dr. Chris Napier

"With 10 years of professional sports training experience, I know how sports injuries can negatively affect athletes. Even a trivial injury during exercise could stop a professional career. As a biomechanist, I hope to help people prevent knee injuries through movement optimization. My study uses wearable technology to focus on lower body movement optimization and female ACL injury prevention. My research aims to: 1) investigate the relationship between the menstrual cycle and athletic performance; 2) investigate how movement optimization may help reduce non-contact knee injury incidence in female athletes."

"I study the running biomechanics and injury prevention. My research aims to set guidelines to help runners develop efficient ways of running, the smart use of wearable technology, and reasonable choices of footwear to prevent a running related injury, especially ankle and foot injuries."
