Development and Application of Curling Brush for Evaluating Sweeping Performance

清扫是在冰壶比赛中，用刷子在滑动的石头前移动来清洁或擦亮冰面的动作。在比赛中，冰壶运动员经常被要求大力扫冰，以纠正石头的速度或轨迹。因此，我们试图开发一种用于测量扫地时施加的力的卷曲刷。我们发现，冰壶运动员在清扫过程中所能施加的力量与他们的身体素质、比赛经历和身体健康水平（尤其是手臂力量）有关。

Sweeping is the action of moving a brush in front of a sliding stone to clean or polish the ice surface in curling. Curlers are often asked to strongly sweep the ice in order to correct the speed or the trajectory of the stone in the games. Therefore we attempted to develop the curling brush for measuring forces exerted during the sweeping. We found that the forces that the curlers could exert during the sweeping were related to their physiques, competitive experiences and physical fitness levels (especially the arm strength).
