ASU’s Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics in the College of Health Sciences (COHS) is hosting a symposium that will help cycling enthusiasts improve their performance through biomechanics, which is the study of how and why people move.

Dr. Lee Childers, assistant professor in the Master of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MSPO) program, will be the presenter at the symposium, titled “Cycling Biomechanics: Science Taking Your Performance from Zero to Hero.â€￾

Childers has been an avid cyclist for more than 10 years, competing in cross country mountain biking and track cycling in the United States and Europe.

“Cycling enthusiasts who attend the symposium will learn how to go faster. I will also discuss bicycle positioning and optimizing positions for performance as well as how to pedal properly,â€￾ Childers said.

The symposium will be held on Jan. 28 at 5:30 p.m. in ASU’s John L. Buskey Auditorium.

New Biomechanics Laboratory

Following the symposium, the COHS will unveil its state-of-the-art biomechanics laboratory. Symposium attendees will be able to tour the new facility.
