I received my Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, Finland in 2002. I am a professor in sports technology and currently working as the head of the Vuokatti Sports Technology Unit, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥. Finland. My current research interests are mostly related to sports biomechanics, especially in Nordic winter sports. I have worked in different positions in Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ since 1992. In addition, I have almost 30 years of experience in basketball, including 8 years in top league player and over 20 years as a coach in different adult and junior series.
