The Australian Institute of Sport together with Swimming Australia and the John Curtin School of Medical Research hosted the XIIth International Symposium on Biomechanics and Medicine in Swimming.
Prof. Ferran A. Rodríguez and Thorsten Schuller participated in the conference, held at the AIS, and presented four communications and one poster. These communications included results of the Altitude Project and Synchro Project (click on the title to download linked abstracts/6 page papers/poster):
