About me

Jing Ma

THIS is Jing Ma, from China. I’ve been in Beijing for several years. I graduated from Beihang University (also known as BUAA, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics)1, majoring in Electronic Engineering and Information, and now I’m a graduate in Capital University of Physical Education and Sports (Beijing Institute for International Olympics Studies)2, researching sports and rehabilitation.

I know a little about computer science:

擅长 Word、Excel、PPT、Pages、Numbers、Keynote、XMind等软件的安装与卸载；

精通 data.frame、Matrix、ggplot2、Python、SPSS、MATLAB、OpenSim、Footscan等单词的拼写；

熟悉 Windows、Linux、macOS、Android、iOS等系统的开关机。

I’m fascinated by Data Science (for research and better life) and Running (an ancient but really attractive physical activity).

I love running because it makes me feel inner peace. When I was coaching people how to run better, with less running-related injuries, I feel a strong sense of achievement.

Research interests

  • Running biomechanics
    • Kinematics
    • Kinetics
    • Spatialtemporal parameters
  • Running-related injuries (RRI)
  • Sports rehabilitation
  • Data Analysis
  • Data Visualization

Something I like

  • Data Science: R3, Python4, etc..
  • Running: I’ve completed 20+ marathons and trail races.
    • Beijing Marathon: The most frequent marathon I’ve ever taken part in, since 2014, which is my FIRST finished marathon race
    • Shanghai Marathon: It’s always hard to get a bib number
    • Hangzhou Marathon: Only once
    • Nanjing Marathon: The beauty of Jiangnan is impressive
    • Xiamen Marathon: I’ve finished Xiamen Marathon 3 times in a row for 3 years, I must be crazy at that time
    • QinHuangdao Marathon: Met someone on the train from QinHuangdao back to Beijing after finishing the marathon race
    • Hengshui Marathon: I can still remember that the chip in my bib has broken, so I had no valid score, though I’ve finished it completely
    • Guangzhou Marathon: If you like hot weather, you should go there
    • Chengdu Marathon: Just a reminder, enjoy Sichuan hot pots after the race
    • Wuxi Marathon: A beautiful city
    • Chongli Trail Race 50km: Actually 57+ km due to the alteration of route halfway by the event committee
    • JinShanling - The Great Wall Trail Race: Got several awards from there
    • …
  • Coaching: I am a certified running coach, giving lectures, leading running groups, and coaching in marathon training camps. I also like 1-vs-1 teaching about running.5
  • Table tennis: Ping pong has grown bigger, so I need to learn how to play again. I was once a player in my school back in BUAA. I like Xu Xin’s elegant playing style, as well as Ma Long’s comprehensive skills and tactics.
  • Plank: 4-point plank, with your body being a straight line. A good way to train your core; My personal best is about 40min.
  • Music: Xu Wei6, is one of my favorite singers.
