The School of Physical Therapy has launched a Twitter page (@GFUDPT) devoted to health promotion. The goal of this page is to present new and updated information for the public, including information about exercise, videos presenting exercise techniques, dietary recommendations, and cooking videos demonstrating healthy options.
Volleyball’s rise in popularity over the past 30 years has created a growing need to better understand the biomechanical causes for shoulder injuries, particularly in youth volleyball players.
The biomedical engineering program is inviting a candidate to speak to how their research lab uses motion capture to analyze the mechanics of hitting a volleyball with the goal of creating better best-practices guidelines for strength and conditioning and repetition counts.
Join us from 3 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24, in EHS 102 to hear about several ongoing experiments in the lab, including using impulse and momentum techniques to estimate the forces on the body during a hit and ways to compare variation in types of motions. The presentation will highlight connections between the undergraduate engineering curriculum and the research techniques.

We’d like to invite Newberg and surrounding communities to join us for a great night of basketball this Friday, Jan. 11, in Miller Gymnasium.
