Questacon - National Science Week: Science of Dance

22 August 2010, 1pm and 2pm

Science of Dance, presented by Dr Nick Ball and Dr Gordon Waddington, uses high-speed video and ultrasound to show participants both the macro and micro view of the dynamic function of muscles and joints in performing dance or athletic activity. The impact of forces and accelerations on the body are displayed on screen in real time using volunteers to show basic biomechanics of performance and how injury may occur (and be prevented).
