‘STRONGMAN’ NO LONGER JUST FOR THE BOYS

Description

This story profiles my research in the sport of strongman and that of my PhD student, Ben Hindle who was examining the biomechanics of strongman. It also makes a strong point that this sport is actively encouraging female participation and that Ben's PhD will be the first series of studies to include female strongman athletes.
