DrAlycia Fong Yan

Alycia's research program explores dance for health. The DanCER project explores the use of dance as an alternative physical activity to increase adherence to physical activity and in turn improve all aspects of health across a variety of populations. The FLOAT project explores the possibility of athletes learning how to land from jumps in a similar manner to dancers with the potential for injury risk reduction. To further these projects, Alycia is  interested in finding optimal methods to capture complex movements and determine the effects of different footwear designs on foot and ankle biomechanics.
