Real-time Feedback for an Improved Speed Skating Performance

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Mechanics and human motor control are very useful areas of knowledge when you are working on innovations in skating. And to stand still is to regress, in skating as in other sports. TU Delft carries out research on training control (‘skating efficiency’) and optimising materials (‘the fast skate’). How?   By using a data bridge to which various shoes and blades can be attached. This data bridge records the energy transfer from the skater to the skate, in relation to the time and to the direction in which the skater is moving.
