Research subjects
Aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, applied ergonomics and design, lightweight materials and structures, biomechanical engineering, human centered product development & interactive technology design
These are the six research subjects, the directions in which scientific research relating to top-level sports at TU Delft will be developing in the coming years.
The focus will be mainly on designing sports products aimed at improving sporting performance during events, reducing the risk of injury, and to improve training. Besides innovative products, improvements in resistance characteristics, power transfer and efficiency can also help to improve top-level sporting performance. Crucial to the design process is a sound analysis of posture, movement, and learning and adaptation processes and the role the product plays in the interaction between the athlete and his or her environment.
