Sports engineering

Sports Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field that connects sport science, mechanical engineering, information technology engineering, human factors and medicine. It represents the technical application of math and physics to solve sporting problems. The main focus is on product design for elite and amatorial athletes, to monitor and enhance their performance, reduce the risk of injury and increase the engagement in sports for young and disabled people. At IDEAS, we developed methodologies for the design and prototyping of smart wearable products, design of sport equipment, technology for disability sports, tools and methods for measurement of athlete’s, performance, apparel and textile engineering for motor and fun activities, tools for injury risk prevention analysis and human factors in sports.
