Biomechanical and Technological Applications in Sport;

Assignment and Presentation

Task:

1)    Select a sport that you wish to focus on

2)    Choose something in that sport that has been adapted or improved over time in order to give an athlete in this sport a biomechanical advantage. Hint: think of the biomechanical principles discussed in class. This can be anything from equipment adaptations or improvements, technique, form or skill execution or an injury common to this sport and how biomechanically this can be overcome somehow.

3)    Create a one-page report based on your research, including what was done before, why something needed to change, how it has changed and improved, any controversies or problems resulting from the change, etc.

4)    Make sure you include a bibliography with the report.

Note: Use chapters 12 and 15 from the textbook for reference and examples.
