Sport bioengineering is the use of engineering principles to measure/improve sport performances, develop sport equipment and improve athletes’ safety.
Monitoring sports and exercise performance efficiently and effectively is a crucial part of the modern sports and fitness industry and requires the use of technology to collect data.

The course will introduce the recent advancements in the methods, techniques and equipment for the prediction/monitoring of energy consumption, acquisition of movement kinematics and kinetics and muscle activity and their applications in sports science. The most important issues in the use of these technologies, including familiarity with equipment, benefits and limitations of one system over another, will be discussed.

The course is based on theoretical lessons, technology demonstrations, practical and laboratory work. Equipment for the acquisition of movement kinematics and kinetics and muscle activity will be used in practical sessions.
The skills developed by the students will allow them to
