Dr Shigetada Kudo is currently Senior Lecturer at Republic Polytechnic, working in the area of sports and exercise biomechanics. Over the last 12 years, Shige has worked with various organisations to study and assess athletic techniques and human movement. With different collaborators, he has studied and quantified variables that measure and evaluate the performance of athlete and human movement, such as hand propulsion and velocity during swimming, the upper, lower and trunk strength of athletes, as well as the velocity and acceleration of upper and lower limbs. Shige has been working in the area of data science to improve techniques of athletes and develop products in the area of ergonomics and healthcare. He is currently evaluating the technique of swimmers using a computational fluid dynamics approach, and is also working on the development of a simple procedure for a coach to easily assess the strength of their athletes in the field using only a video camera or mobile phone. Shige obtained his PhD in Biomechanics from School of Physical Education, University of Otago, New Zealand.
