About
Fatemeh Mahdavi is a researcher whose work bridges biomechanics, animal locomotion, and sports engineering, with a particular focus on optimizing performance and safety in high-speed animal athletics. Her key research areas include the dynamics of quadrupedal sprinting and turning, the biomechanical analysis of racing greyhounds, and the influence of track surface conditions on injury risk. Mahdavi’s major contribution lies in her comparative study of rapid galloping and turning on different terrains, where she systematically examined how variables such as bend geometry, surface type, and camber affect the biomechanics of racing greyhounds. This work, published in 2018 and cited seven times, provides critical insights for designing safer athletic tracks by identifying risk factors that can lead to injury during high-speed maneuvers. Her research has practical implications for animal welfare and track engineering, offering evidence-based recommendations for surfacing and layout. Mahdavi’s findings are particularly notable for their interdisciplinary approach, combining veterinary science, mechanical engineering, and sports medicine to address a real-world challenge in greyhound racing. Her work stands as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to reduce injury rates while maintaining competitive performance.
