Sports Equipment Practice: Mountain Bike Workshop on the Hohe Wand

In the fifth semester, students on the Sports Equipment specialization of the Human Factors and Sports Engineering degree program deal with three different types of sport. They started with mountain biking in September. For the practical sessions, they headed to the Hohe Wand Wiese trail center with plenty of motivation and sufficient rain protection.

Equipped with the knowledge of materials science, biomechanics, product-specific technology and standards from previous semesters, the students took to the field. They developed practical questions and collected data using smartphones. The data was analyzed and the results published in the form of scientific posters.

We were able to accompany the workshop at the Trailcenter with our camera:

Over the course of the semester, further sports equipment workshops will take place in the areas of climbing and skiing and snowboarding.
