Sports Innovation & Dynamics Lab

The Sports Innovation & Dynamics Lab (SIDLAB), in the Department of Physical Education at Hanyang University, studies human movement in rehabilitation, daily life and sport. Current work covers personalised footwear, the mechanics of mobility and injury, how cognitive load and fatigue affect movement, and wearable sensors for measuring movement outside the laboratory. Studies involve patients, older adults and athletes, and are carried out with partner universities, hospitals, companies and sport organisations. The lab is led by Associate Professor Siddhartha Bikram Panday.
