  • About the Editor
    • Reviews tissue mechanics, joint kinematics, and neuromuscular control in the context of athletic tasks.
    • Connects lab-based measurements (motion capture, force plates) to real-world training and rehabilitation decisions.
    • Offers applied examples across sports to show how biomechanics informs skill development and injury prevention.

Noemie Bouchard is an academic and practitioner in sport biomechanics with a strong record in movement analysis and injury-risk modelling. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on biomechanical principles and supervises research on performance optimization and load management. Noemie uses motion capture and musculoskeletal modelling to study movement efficiency, joint loading, and fatigue-related technique breakdown. She collaborates with sports teams and rehab clinics to translate lab findings into training and return-to-play protocols. Current research examines sex-specific biomechanical patterns and targeted interventions to reduce ACL injury risk.
