IET Advanced Sports Imaging
How can sports performance be improved through the use of technology and maths?
Using high-speed digital cameras to produce images, students analyse motion, speed and impact. An infra-red camera is used to look at energy transfer and effects of pre-cooling on an athlete's performance.
This is a cross-curricular technical activity that demonstrates how better performance comes from improving technique. Students also analyse thermal and kinetic effects in sports and injury which can aid students' understanding of the contribution of technology to sport improvement.
This workshop is supported by the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET).
