  1. 1. Faster. Stronger. Better? : designing for enhanced engagement of extreme sports

    Författare :Rouien Zarin; Andreas Lund; Johan Redström; Ambra Trotto; Tom Djajadiningrat; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; constructive design research; design prototypes; prototypes; design research; research through design; embodiment; sports; interaction; technology; user experience; human computer interaction; tactile; feedback; design; design;

    Sammanfattning : The human body is capable of very rich and complex movements and gestures which we use in everyday life to manipulate, navigate and negotiate the world around us—it is our interface for human experience. However, as technology advances it simultaneously shrinks, moving closer to our bodies, intertwining with the many facets of our lives and positions itself between our experiences of the physical environments around us.

  3. 2. Objective Analysis Methods in the Mechanics of Sports

    Författare :Mikael Swarén; Anders Eriksson; Vesa Linnamo; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sports equipment; test methods; sports mechanics; biomechanics; performance analysis; tracking; positioning system; pacing; alpine skiing; cross-country skiing; poles; helmets;

    Sammanfattning : Sports engineering can be considered as the bridge between the knowledge of sports science and the principles of engineering and has an important role not only in improving the athletic performance, but also in increasing the safety of the athletes. Testing and optimization of sports equipment and athletic performance are essential for supporting athletes in their quest to reach the podium. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Technical Solutions for Internet-based Wireless Sensor Networks in e-Health Applications

    Författare :Jonas Wåhslén; Thomas Lind; Mats Björkman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; e-Health; ambient assisted living; Internet of things; wireless body sensor networks; sports technology; Bluetooth; Wi-Fi; time synchronisation; sensor data fusion; mobile phone sensor communication; device-to-device communication; E-hälsa; Internet of things; trådlösa kroppsnära sensornät; idrottste- knologi; Bluetooth; Wi-Fi; tidssynkronisering; dynamisk mjukvaruuppdatering; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

    Sammanfattning : E-Health technology has developed rapidly in the last decade. Body-worn sen- sors have developed from an idea to a reality. Today, wireless sensors can perform functions from measuring heartbeats to advanced motion recognition. However, the integration of the various available solutions is still lacking. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Computational Biomechanics in Cross-country Skiing

    Författare :Joakim L. Holmberg; Anders Klarbring; Ingrid Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer simulation; Inverse dynamics; Musculoskeletal; Optimization; Simulation model; Sports; Computational Biomechanics; Cross‐country Skiing; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Traditionally, research on cross‐country skiing biomechanics is based mainly on experimental testing alone. Trying a different approach, this thesis explores the possibilities of using computational musculoskeletal biomechanics for cross‐country skiing. As far as the author knows, this has not been done before. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the Multi-Scale Nature of Ski-Snow Friction : Field Testing, Characterisation and Modelling of Cross-Country Ski Performance

    Författare :Kalle Kalliorinne; Andreas Almqvist; Roland Larsson; Steph Forrester; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cross-Country Skiing; Winter Sports; Winter Olympics; Multi-Scale; Sports Equipment; Contact Mechanics; Ski-Camber Profile; Ski-Base Texture; Ski; Snow; Friction; RTK-GNSS; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Sammanfattning : The goal of most endurance sports is to get from point A to B in the shortest time possible. Throughout the course, athletes need to overcome the resistive forces that are present in their specific sport. LÄS MER
