Aegis
Asthma is relatively common among the population in Sweden, but even more common among those who practice endurance training in the cold, such as cross-country skiers. Can the use of heat and...
Ongoing projects
An overview of the projects currently underway at Sports Tech Research Centre. The research is conducted within the three main areas: "Biomechanics and Performance Optimization", "Human and Equipment Interaction" and "Additive Manufacturing and Materials".
Projects
AMPeRe
The AMPeRE Project, Industrialization of Additive Manufacturing, through multi-purpose post-PRocEssing, is a business-driven initiative focusing on post-processing, specifically for powder bed fusi...
BioChange
BioChange will create conditions for companies to more easily change from fossil based plastics to more biobased plastics by offering quick comparative testing on the raw material before production.
Cold start
The project aims to develop a stable working methodology in the long term in order to be able to use the EBM process to repair details. But also utilize the process's properties, high energy and...
Effects of air drag and drafting in double poling cross-country skiing
The aim is to study the effects of air drag and drafting in double poling cross-country skiing by examining how much force and energy the skiers can save by skiing behind the front skier.
Hand-cycling, mechanical and physiological effects
Which influence have different riding positions in competitive para hand-cycling? A new study will provide athletes and coaches among others with increased knowledge of the pros and cons with vario...
INNOKOMP
The project INNOKOMP, Innovative powder-based component technology, focuses on powder, a green technology, as raw material for further processing. Part of the project focuses on additive...
Long-term parasport development
Research and development in para-alpine skiing and para-canoeing will contribute to long-term parasport development together with IPC, the International Paralympic Committee.
Pacing strategies in cross-country skiing
In all endurance sports, the choice of pacing strategy is an important component for optimal performance where time gains can be achieved if the speed is adapted to the terrain, wind resistance and...
Para canoe
In para sports there are differences in performance, which is compensated by classification, where the final result is adjusted depending on the person's impairment. The project aims to make the...
Physiological effects of breathing resistance in equipment for measurements of aerobic energy expenditure
The project aims to study breathing resistance in flow meters, valves, mixing chambers and respiratory hoses, as well as its effects on athletes pulmonary ventilation and aerobic energy expenditure.
Production efficiency of Additive manufacturing in metal
The project "Production efficiency of Additive manufacturing in metal, Pro-A" aims to increase the productivity of additive manufacturing in metal with a new type of heating technology of the powde...
Running downhill
Being able to keep high speed at steep downhill slopes when running outdoors is an important factor for performance in undulating terrain. However, to date research is sparse regarding the most...
Safety systems for head injuries
With the help of a constructed surrogate head with many sensors, the researchers hope to gain knowledge of what is happening in the brain during trauma to the head. In this way, even better safety...
TROJAM3DC
The project aims to establish the region of Jämtland / Härjedalen, Västernorrland and Tröndelag as one of Northern Europe's centers for additive manufacturing and strengthening companies in the...
