Advanced Biomechanics
9th-10th April 2016

scientific research.
In addition, Sharon elaborates
further on domestication, melanomas
and muscle type and function.
Covering areas deemed to
be performance limiting such
as dwarfism, atavism and other
incumbent issues are introduced and
supported by relevant research.
Discussions related to current
topics based on research such as
tendon boots, travelling and the
research published by Sharon MayDavis will also be on the table.
