DESCRIPTION:Wearable technologies are a major growth industry in the UK an
 d worldwide\, showing a constant interest towards the development and impr
 ovement of sensors and algorithms for application in the sport\, exercise\
 , and broader health area. Although a variety of products are currently on
  the market there is a need for a sound scientific approach in their valid
 ation and more evidence-base for their application to the different aspect
 s of performance and/or health monitoring\, especially when biomechanical 
 features of movement execution are the focus of the analysis.\nIn this tal
 k I will discuss the current state of the art of sport biomechanics and it
 s use of wearables for the prevention\, assessment\, and management of spo
 rt-related musculoskeletal injuries. Also\, I will outline some of our cur
 rent research projects\, which aim to bring sound biomechanical assessment
  from the lab to the field and make it accessible to a much wider group of
  users.\n\nBio: Ezio Preatoni is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) i
 n Biomechanics and Motor Control at the University of Bath\, UK. He obtain
 ed the Laura degree (BSc + MSc) in biomedical Engineering (2003) and compl
 eted my PhD in Bioengineering (2007) at Politecnico di Milano\, Italy. His
  research interests include human movement dynamics and coordination\, wit
 h a specific focus on sports biomechanics\, and on the use\, development a
 nd integration of novel methods for the assessment of motor skills\, learn
 ing\, technique\, injury mechanisms and injury prevention.
