VIRTUAL GUEST LECTURE: Former Para-Athlete Kelda Wood

Join us on Thursday 10 December from 6:00pm for an exclusive virtual talk from former GB para-athlete Kelda Wood - a must-watch for those considering studying sport and exercise science with us.

Viewers will have the opportunity to hear Kelda share insight into the positive impact of exercise on mental and physical health, her incredible solo row across the Atlantic, and how the University of Lincoln helped her to achieve this feat of sporting excellence.

In 2018, Kelda previously worked with University of Lincoln sports scientists to develop cutting edge bio-mechanical technology to enable her to become the first adaptive female to row solo across the Atlantic.

During this collaboration, Kelda underwent a series of biomechanical assessments in the Unviersity's Human Performance Centre’s leading-edge Motion Capture Lab. This facility was used to examine the extent to which Kelda was able to move her ankle while rowing and how the rest of her body compensated for the limited range of motion. Data collected by the University was used to inform the boat and footplate modifications that enabled Kelda to row unaided for more than 3,000 miles across the world's second largest ocean!
