Spor Tarihi

Short Bibliography
Aida Bendo is an Associate Professor at Department of Health and Movement, Sports University of Tirana, where she established the Biomechanics laboratory. She was admitted to Special Physics Section in 2006 to the Faculty of Natural Science, University of Tirana, where she is graduated in 2008 as physicist. Since then, she has worked as a lecturer of Biomechanics in Sports University of Tirana. The teaching modules has helped her in a better knowledge and understanding the practical importance for the analysis of human movement. She has obtained a PhD in the Faculty of Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Physics in Polytechnic University of Tirana in 2015. Her doctoral thesis is related to the effect of proprioception training in biomechanical parameters in different sport teams, which is the first of its kind in the field of biomechanics that was performed in Albania. The study presents practical interest, because a real importance is given to the role of movements or physical activity in function of human movements. She is the author of many papers in international referred journals and conference contributions.
Teaching modules:
Physics, Applied Physics, Biomechanics, Statistics, Scientific Research in Applied Biomechanics

Research interest
Her research interest is focused in two areas: sport and clinical biomechanics including special populations. The goals related to these topics are: improving technique and performance as well as injury prevention. Aida’s current research, except the teaching, has been and continues to be the improvement of equilibrium in difficult situations during training and competitive process in terms of biomechanical variables, for sportive performance achievements at a high level, for the achievements of specific purposes by demonstrating high rational technique. A special research issue presents the ability to separate positive and negative mechanical elements from the style and technique, which can explain how to better improve the movement’s performance in physical activity and sports. The importance of applied biomechanics in sport medicine research is to identify forces which can cause physical, muscular and bone trauma, in prevention of injuries, caused by frequent repetitions. Applied biomechanics research can influence performance improvement or reduction and rehabilitation of injuries.
