Bio

Dr. Wayne Marino specializes in the area of Sport Biomechanics. Wayne has been a member of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports since 1983 and served on the ISBS board of directors for 16 years. In 2008 he was made a Fellow of ISBS and remains active in society business and publications. Wayne has published extensively in sport biomechanics conference proceedings and journals. Over the years, his main research interests have included applied biomechanics in sports such as hockey and baseball. He has also contributed to the literature in the area of gait analysis particularly of older adults. Dr. Marino has been a consultant for Baseball Canada, Louisville Hockey, and The Hockey Company. At the graduate level, Wayne Marino has advised 29 completed master's students, many of whom have subsequently gone on to doctoral studies and successful careers in research and teaching.
