Sport Equipment Design and Testing

Sport equipment design and testing involves creating and evaluating gear used in athletic activities to enhance performance and safety. In the context of biomechanics, it focuses on how equipment interacts with the human body, analyzing factors like movement, force, and energy efficiency. Engineers and designers use scientific principles to optimize items like shoes, balls, and protective gear, ensuring they support an athlete's natural motions and help prevent injuries. Testing involves using simulations, prototypes, and real-world trials to assess how well the equipment performs under various conditions, leading to improvements that benefit athletes at all levels.
