The course aims to provide students with conceptual and methodological tools for the analysis and design of equipment and systems used in sports. Particular attention is devoted to the modeling of the biomechanical interaction between athlete, equipment, and environment, and to understanding the role of mechanical parameters such as mass, stiffness, damping, and geometry in determining performance, comfort, and safety. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply principles of mechanics and biomechanics to the design and engineering evaluation of sports devices.
