Baseball and Tennis

Baseball is one of the most played sports in the world. It’s less popular in the Netherlands than in some other countries, yet we have the most successful baseball team in Europe. We were even world champions once, in 2011. Who knows, we may even be the talk of the town during the 2020 Olympic Games, when baseball will be reintroduced to the summer games. ‘But then we have to do everything in our power to keep our athletes free from injury,’ says Bart van Trigt, PhD candidate in the field of BioMechanical Engineering at TU Delft. He is developing a measurement system to prevent overhead injuries in both baseball and tennis together with PhD candidate Ton Leenen, who is conducting doctoral research at VU Amsterdam in the field of Human Movement Sciences.

Proeftuin op de Noordzee

(only Dutch text available)
Voor de kust van Den Haag, net buiten de haven van Scheveningen, werken Gemeente Den Haag, KPN, TU Delft, TNO, Sailing Innovation Centre, Svašek Hydraulics en het Watersportverbond samen aan een geavanceerd testgebied van 10 x 10 zeemijl. De uitzonderlijke omgevingsfactoren van water, wind en stroming maken dit ‘slimste stukje Noordzee’ uniek in de wereld. Datavergaring, -transmissie en -ontsluiting vormen een grote uitdaging.
