  3. 2. Experimental test setups and simulations in skiing mechanics

    Författare :Mikael Swarén; Anders Eriksson; Thomas Stöggl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :sports equipment; test methods; sports mechanics; alpine skiing; cross-country skiing; poles; helmets; glide; performance;

    Sammanfattning : Product testing and development are essential parts in sports and for the athletes in their quest to reach the podium. Manufacturers of sports equipment often use basic test methods which do not test the equipment in a sports specific way. LÄS MER
