Prof. Dr. Weerawat Limroongreungrat, Deputy Dean for Research, Academic Service & International Relations, the College of Sports Science and Technology, Mahidol University, whose work “Mobile Application for Sport Movement Analysis”, won an Honorable Mention Award and 5,000 THB from the “Sport Science Innovation Contest 2022”. This year, the final round was held onsite at Nimibutr Stadium, Bangkok, and simultaneously online via Zoom.
The “Mobile Application for Sport Movement Analysis” is a part of Mr. Poramat Jaratdamrong’s Master Degree’s thesis in Game Technology and Gamification. It is a mobile application that helps analyze the biomechanics of running, which allows users to know the values of their waist movement and forward lean while running. Such values can be used to improve users’ proper running posture resulting in fewer knee injuries.
The “Sport Science Innovation Contest” is held annually, with the goal to encourage instructors, teachers, students, and the general public to demonstrate their abilities, creativity in innovation, as well as to disseminate their innovation and technology in sports science that are beneficial to public health.
