Dr. Scott Selbie On The Evolution Of Biomechanics, Sports Performance, and Theia Markerless

HNL Movement Podcast

In a new episode of the HNL Movement Podcast, Andrew sits down with Dr. Scott Selbie, the innovative CEO of Theia Markerless and a leading figure in biomechanics. Dr. Selbie's journey into the biomechanics world was triggered by a chance lecture, leading him to see how biomechanical principles could benefit his canoeing technique. His growing fascination prompted him to spend time in a biomechanics lab, setting him on the path to achieving a PhD in the field. Through the episode, listeners will be taken on a journey that spans decades, highlighting Dr. Selbie's vast experiences from computer animation labs to revolutionizing the field of biomechanics.Diving deeper, Dr. Selbie explores the early ties between sports and biomechanics, highlighting the receptiveness of the sports community to novel approaches that promise a competitive edge. The episode navigates the complexities of using biomechanics data to elevate athletic performance, spotlighting the revolutionary markerless motion capture technology. From its initial challenges to its influential role in redefining professional baseball and the broader study of human movement, it's a tale of persistence and innovation. As the sports domain increasingly embraces biomechanics, Dr. Selbie presents a thoughtful perspective on the advantages, challenges, and promising trajectory of biomechanics in the future.
