Channel: Stuart McErlain-Naylor
Date: 2020-04-24

Lecture 9 of the Sports Biomechanics Lecture Series #SportsBiomLS 
Céleste Wilkins presents an overview of scientific research on the topic of equestrian rider biomechanics - specifically focusing on the rider and the interactions between the horse and rider. This includes a comparison of elite and sub-elite riders, a discussion of pelvic tilt, and horse-rider coordination.
