Research Activities @ BioLab3

Assessing Sport Performance

Contact: bibboATuniroma3.it

Objective
develop devices and algorithms for the evaluation of motor performance in different sport and leisure activities.
Description
In the Lab, an instrumented crank and pedal for the acquisition of the dynamics and pose for spin bike activities has been recently realized in order to make possible to monitor modifications of mechanical variables during the execution of different cycling tasks. Muscular fatigue has also been estimated, and modifications of muscular synergies during fatiguing protocols are currently under analysis in a wider context of sports exercises.
The use of remote monitoring of the variables under exam makes it possible to extend the application to outdoor cycling.
