講者介紹

	活動紀錄
	演講開始時，周教授問：「世界上最好的機器是什麼？」一個學生回答「是人類嗎？」周教授說道「是的，正是人，當我意識到人類是最好的機器之後，我決定投入生物力學領域。」「你知道『bio-』這個字根的意思嗎？」周教授問。大多數學生點了點頭，說道：「活著的生物。」「沒錯，這指的是有關生命和生物，我對生物感興趣。因此，我開始進行與生命有關的研究。」接著，周教授簡要介紹了他所任教的的愛荷華州立大學。「它成立於1858年3月22日。2018年的註冊人數為3,4992，教職員工為6,000。它有各種各樣的學院：農業和生命科學學院、商業、設計、工程和人文學院。我的系所則是屬於人類科學學院。」不久，周教授介紹了人體運動學系。「這個系所的願景是通過研究體育鍛煉和健康生活的知識來促進健康和福祉。」周教授說。後來，周教授問：「那你們知道人體運動學是什麼嗎？」周教授說道：「運動學是通過生物力學、運動控制、運動生理學和運動心理學等子學科來分析運動。」隨後，周教授介紹了髕股關節疼痛症候群（PFPS），即前膝關節疼痛。「PFPS是26種最常見的傷害之一。」然後，周教授進而解釋了跑步傷害的因素「訓練方式、健康狀況、生活方式、系統性、生理性皆為跑步傷害的主要因素。」接下來，周教授介紹了他研究的目標和過程：「為了更好地了解臀部肌肉力量與臀部肌肉激發之間的關係，並幫助臨床醫生在PFPS康復期間制定更有針對性的措施，我們旨在確定跑步過程中臀部肌肉力量與臀部肌肉激發之間的關係，以及男女在運動過程中的運動學。然後，教授詳細的闡述其研究過程。在演講的最後，週教授分享了一句話，愛因斯坦（Albert Einstein）「生活就像騎自行車，如果要保持平衡，你必須要持續地動。」講師再次強調了運動對我們人類生活的重要性。 Week 8, Professor Chou,《Biomechanical Investigation Of Running Injury》In the beginning of the speech, Professor Chou asked, ‘’What is the best machine in the world?’’ A student replied, ‘’Human?’’ Professor Chou said, ‘’ Yes, it is human beings. After I realized that human is the best machine, I decided to stepped into the area of biomechanics.’’ ‘’Do you know the meaning of the prefix bio-?’’Professor Chou asked. Most of the students nodded the head and said, ‘’Alive.’’ ‘’Yes, it's about life and living things, and I interested in living beings.’’ Thus, I began to carry out the researches which are related to the human beings. Not long after, Professor Chou briefly introduced Iowa State University where Professor Chou stayed. ‘’It was established in March 22, 1858. In 2018, its enrollment is 34,992 and faculty & Staff are 6,000. There are a variety of colleges: agriculture and Life Science; Business, Design,Engineering and Human Sciences College. Human Sciences College is the college which I belong to.’’ Shortly, Professor Chuo introduced the department of Kinesiology. ‘’The goal of this department is to promote health and well-being by creating and disseminating knowledge about physical activity and healthy living.’’ Professor Chou said. Later, Professor Chou asked, ‘’ what is Kinesiology? Have you ever heard this word before?’’ Professor Chou paused for seconds and said, ‘’ Kinesiology is to analyze movement through the sub-disciplines of biomechanics, motor control, exercise physiology and exercise/sport psychology.’’ Later, Professor Chou introduced Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), which is anterior knee pain without significant pathology in the underlying structures. ‘’ PFPS is one of the 26 most common injuries.’’ Then, Professor Chou explained casual factors of running injury, ‘’ Training,health, lifestyle, systematic, and physiologic are the main factors of running injury. Next, Professor Chou introduced the goal and process of his study, ‘’In order to have a better understanding of the relationships between hip muscle strength and hip muscle activation, and help clinicians develop more targeted interventions during PFPS rehabilitation,we aimed to determine the relationships during running, and running kinematics in females and males.’’ Then, Professor thoroughly stated the process of the study. In the end of the speech, Professor Chou share a quote which was said by Albert Einstein, ‘’Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” The speaker emphasized the importance of the movement and exercise again.

	In recent years, more and more people in Taiwan notice the importance of exercise, even start going exercise regularly. This phenomenon is based on the report from WHO, which showed that “physical inactivity” is one of the leading risk factors. Exercise is good, however, when the public do it in a wrong way, it may lead to some harmful injury. Moreover, people will take some traditional therapy that cause the injury worse than before. Today, after listening to the lecture, I found that I never took care of how I exercise. The teacher had mentioned so many tips we should be aware when in the activities, such as the right way of using muscles, how to make good strength distribution ...... etc. I don’t even know that the male and the female have some different details on exercise. Kinesiology is also one of the new spheres I’ve never approached. I am used to think that exercise is just a way for me to relax or keep me in shape, but the speech turned my world up-side-down. Exercise can also be a great domain of science, each kinds of sports can relate to lots of different subjects, for example, psychology, medical, or art. It is actually a “human science”. Taiwan is also famous of some sports in the global, however, every time when it comes to the international games, Taiwan always faces to a serious problem— we don’t have enough professional talents in kinesiology, therefore when athletes are hurt, couldn’t recover immediately and reduce the times of getting hurt become the biggest situation we faced to. If more people are willing to spend time studying in this sphere, not only we can reduce the rate of getting hurt but also make benefits for those athletes.
