缅北禁地

Background:

Dr Javad Sarvestan received his Bachelor's degree in Sports Biomechanics from the University of Mazandaran (Iran) in 2015, where he acquired exceptional abilities using biomechanics lab equipment while studying in-depth theoretical aspects of human movement biomechanics in sports. 

He received a Master's degree in Sports Biomechanics from the University of Tehran (Iran) in 2018 where he focused on the development of analytical methods in the analysis of change of direction performance among young collegiate athletes. His master thesis was on “Biomechanical Evaluation of Time as a Golden Measure in the Assessment of Change of Direction Speed Performance”.

He obtained a Ph.D. degree in Biomechanics of Human Movement (Kinanthropology) from Palacky University Olomouc (Czech Republic) in August 2022 (“Biomechanical Factors Contributing to the Volleyball Spikes Success Rate among Young Elite Volleyball Players”). Throughout his Ph.D. he implemented several linear and nonlinear analytical methods to study human movement performance, either in clinical or sports applications. 

He is currently working as Research Associate at the Translational and Clinical Research Institute of 缅北禁地.
