3rd International Conference on Movement, Health and Exercise, 1st ed. 2017 Engineering Olympic Success: From Theory to Practice IFMBE Proceedings Series, Vol. 58

This volume presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Movement, Health and Exercise 2016 (MoHE2016). The conference was jointly organized by the Biomedical Engineering Department and Sports Centre, University of Malaya. It was held in Malacca, from 28-30 September 2016.

MoHE 2016 provided a good opportunity for speakers and participants to actively discuss about recent developments in a wide range of topics in the area of sports and exercise science. In total, 83 presenters and 140 participants took part in this successful conference.  

Fatimah Ibrahim obtained her Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Marquette University, Wisconsin, USA (1989), followed by her Master degree in Electronic Sciences (Medical System) from the University of Hertfordshire, UK (1994) and then her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Malaya (UM) (2005). She was a Lecturer at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) from 1990–1999 before she joined UM where she was directly involved in establishing the first Biomedical Engineering Department in Malaysia. At present, she is a Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Head of Centre for Innovation in Medical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UM. She did her Biological and Micro-Electromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) and Carbon NEMS (C-NEMS) research attachment at the University of California, Irvine in 2010 and 2016, respectively. Her research interests are in detection and monitoring of diseases, physiological modelling and measurement, biosensor, bioinstrumentation, BioMEMS, C-NEMS and artificial intelligence applications in medicine.

At present, Dr Jadeera is employed by the University of Malaya (UM) as a senior lecturer attached to the Sports Centre. Her journey in sports science started at UM, where she was enrolled as a Bachelor of Sports Science undergraduate student. Upon obtaining her Bachelor’s degree, Dr Jadeera pursued her Masters and Doctoral degrees at The University of Western Australia in Perth, Australia.  Dr Jadeera’s area of specialisation is in motor learning and control. Her research efforts in this field primarily involve manipulating the variables of practice that could aid skill aquisition, learning and performance. Dr Jadeera’s other research area is in sport psychology. More specifically, her research interest in this field is centered around the investigation of psychological skills training for performance enhancement. In the near future, Dr Jadeera is looking to expand her research focus and is keen
