An award-winning academic helped secure a conference on biomechanics in sport for Rimini.
The success of the bid, put forward by the University of Bologna,
was largely due professor Laura Bragonzoni from the department of Science for
Quality of Life at the Rimini Campus.
Professor Bragonzoni was recently awarded the Rimini Mundi 2024, an award given
to ambassadors of the Rimini Riviera who have led successful conference bids for the region.
Working alongside the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), Bragonzoni
forged the necessary connections to strengthen Rimini's proposal.
“Hosting an international congress on biomechanics in sports is a unique opportunity to foster research, innovation, and progress in the fields of motor sciences, movement analysis, and beyond. It will bring together over 400 experts, researchers, and professionals from around the world,” explained Professor Bragonzoni.
The 45th edition of the International Society of
Biomechanics in Sports will take place at the Palacongressi in Rimini from June 23 to 27, 2027.
“Biomechanics applied to sports can significantly enhance
athletes' performance, minimise injury risks, and optimise training methods.
Biomechanical analysis can also be applied to daily life and recreational
sports, helping to prevent injuries and improve posture and overall fitness.
This has a positive impact on public health, promoting healthier lifestyles for
a greater number of people.”
The
ISBS annual event travels around the globe. In 2024, it was held in Salzburg,
this year it will be in Doha (Qatar), next year in Loughborough (UK), then
landing in Rimini in 2027.
