Contribute to the SNSF project “My digital twin is revealing the biomechanics of safe and efficient strength training”! This SNSF project serves to optimise personal strength training using validated biomechanical computer models and mobile “smart” measurement methods.
Your tasks
• Write dissertation in the topic area
• Develop scientific basis
• Plan and conduct computer simulations
• Conduct intervention study and evaluate data
• Create publication in accordance with promotion requirements
Your skills
• Master’s degree in sports science, kinesiology or biomedical engineering (or equivalent)
• Experience in research and development and substantial IT affinity
• Editorial skills and pleasure in writing
• Team-oriented, ability to take the initiative and work independently
• Passive knowledge of another official Swiss language

Content and goals of the research project:
Strength training is widespread in elite and recreational sport as well as sport for health. However, at a scientific level the relationship between the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system and the effect of strength training is unclear. Accordingly, there is a widespread lack of efficiency and risk of injury. This SNSF project at the SFISM serves to develop and validate biomechanical computer models and mobile measurement methods for the individual optimisation of strength training in the sports and leisure environment. On the basis of the latest level of expertise we will 1) continue to develop subject-specific biomechanical computer models, 2) advance the mobile measurement of training volumes and muscular fatigue using the Apple Watch, and 3) validate the new measurement methods and algorithms in a scientific manner.
