Personal best
This case study describes how Steph Forrester became a senior lecturer in sports technology. Her research aims to support the development of better sports equipment for the user. ‘Better’ can mean helping an athlete achieve their personal best, providing greater comfort or allowing them to perform with greater safety and minimised injury risk. The research activities are centred on understanding how athletes interact with sports equipment, and then applying this information to support equipment design. Steph is particularly interested in artificial turf surfaces, athletic footwear, sports bras and golf. This resource was produced by Research Councils UK (RCUK).
