Strongman training

[Justin Keogh]

I have recently started up a powerlifting and strongman training club at my uni (7 members in total at the moment).   I am looking to find some actual research conducted on events such as tyre flipping, farmers walks, truck pulling, stone lifting etc, but have been unable to find anything except a few website articles which just have the authors' opinions.  Does anyone know of any published data on these events particularly from a biomechanical or physiological perspective?   I have some students who may be keen to conduct some research in this area, is anyone else interested in collaborating in this endeavour?   Thanks   Justin   Justin Keogh Lecturer Division of Sport and Recreation Institute of Sport and Recreation Research New Zealand Auckland University of Technology Private bag 92006 Auckland 1020 New Zealand Room AH221I   Phone:  64-9-921-9999 ext 7617 Fax:      64-9-921-9960 email:    [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aut.ac.nz/staff/staff_bio/Search.php?faculty_id==2 Post messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  To (un)subscribe, send any message to sportscience-(un)[EMAIL PROTECTED] View all messages at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sportscience/.
