The big match in the offing for Lu and his team won't signify much to most local sports freaks: the 2005 Chinese National Flag Football Championship, which will be held at the Shanghai Stadium on Sunday.
And Lu insists his boys -- from ShanghaiGongkang Middle School -- are the most determined of all the players in the Chinese teams.
Lu himself only found out about the game by accident when he ran into a touring American university football team in the 1990s.
Lu’s paper, Neural Response of Cervical Facet Joint Capsule to Stretch: A Study of Whiplash Pain Mechanism, was judged best of five student submissions.
John Cavanaugh, Lu’s advisor, is studying the cause of whiplash in order recommend new vehicle headrests designs to reduce injuries caused in rear-end impacts.
Lu’s research was supported by a grant from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
