Through the disciplines of Sport Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Training, and Coaching Education, Dr. Lockwood’s research program investigates best practices in developing athletes. She concentrates primarily in on-ice sport, where she has played a critical role in contributing to the science of sport performance. More recently, her work has extended beyond understanding the human factors to include working with industry to assist in equipment engineering, material properties and design to explore how to best harness physical and technical preparedness through sport equipment.

Research Interests

  • Sport Biomechanics; specifically skating mechanics
  • Sport Equipment Engineering; Materials properties and design of specifically skate boot and blades
  • Theoretical framework and application of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD)
  • High Performance Sport; training adaptations, athlete development, harnessing physiological and biomechanical preparedness to performance potential
  • Coach Education

Professional affiliations and accreditation/certification

  • Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology
  • (CSEP)International Society of Biomechanics of Sport
  • (ISBS)International Skating Union (ISU)
  • (CAC)Coaches Association of Canada
  • Ontario Society for Health & Fitness (OSHF)
