Academic Areas:
- Exercise Science
- Kinesiology
Primary teaching focus is on biomechanics and it application to sport performance, particularly through movement analysis.
Primary research focus is on lower extremity mechanics particularly during running and walking gait.
The researchers analyze movements of the body to improve performance.
Weimar’s research focuses on the function of the lower extremity, specifically gait dynamics. One particular study that garnered tremendous attention compared the gait kinematics of individuals wearing sneakers versus flip-flops.
The research in the Sport Biomechanics Laboratory is primarily focused on the lower extremity, with the main focus on gait.
Dr. Weimar's research is focused on the function of the lower extremity with specific interest in gait dynamics.
