 I am bachelor in Physical Education at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil, where I have also conducted my master studies in Human Movement Sciences. My professional work was on strength conditioning and performance evaluation of cycling. My last working place was at CiaVital on strength training and at UFRGS with research on cycling biomechanics. During my master thesis, my focus was on the effects of fatigue on joint moments and coordinative pattern during cycling. My studies were supported by CNPq (National council for technological and scientific development) and I had Dr Carlos Bolli Mota as my main supervisor.
I am also a member of the Cycling Research and Study group (GEPEC), and of the Biomechanics and Kinesiology Research Group (GpBic). At UFRGS, prof. Dr. Marco A Vaz, and prof. Dr. Flávio Castro have been helped me since the death of my first supervisor, prof. Dr. Antônio Carlos Stringhini Guimarães.
My undergraduate study was related to the measurement of pedal forces of cyclists and triathletes during cycling in aerodynamic position. Prof. Dr. Antônio Carlos Stringhini Guimarães was my supervisor at that time. My cooperation with Fernando Diefenthaeler, and Eduardo Nabinger have implemented here in Brazil the evaluation of pedaling technique for cyclists and triathletes.
I just finished my PhD at AUT University in New Zealand (AUT) Prof. Patria Hume supervision. My thesis focused on body position on the bicycle and methods to assess cycling kinetics and kinematics (http://aut.researchgateway.ac.nz/handle/10292/2636).
I am actually working as a research officer at the Ibtec centre assessing shoe performance under various biomechanical analysis (i.e. ground reaction forces, kinematics, plantar pressure). For further contact, please e-mail me by bini.rodrigo@gmail.com
