Development of an instrumented testing device for body strength evaluation

加拿大运动员在国际比赛中的成功取决于他们先进的训练策略，以提高他们的表现，防止与运动相关的伤害。脑震荡是最严重的运动相关伤害之一，人们已经做出了各种尝试来降低其风险。该项目的长期目标是开发一种用于身体力量评估的仪器测试设备，并证明其在降低脑震荡风险方面的有效性。转化这个项目产生的知识将导致为有可能减少脑震荡发生率的运动员开发新的训练计划。该行业合作伙伴积极参与开发和实施安全培训和医疗保健技术，并将把这项研究的成果商业化。这项研究还将有助于培养机械和生物医学工程领域的高素质人才。

The success of Canadian athletes in international games depends on their advanced training strategies to improve their performance and prevent sport-related injury. The concussion is among the most critical sport-related injuries, and various attempts have been made to reduce its risk. The long-term goal of this project is to develop an instrumented testing device for body strength evaluation and demonstrate its efficiency in reducing the risk of concussion. Translating the knowledge generated by this project will lead to the development of new training programs for athletes with the potential to lessen the incidence of concussion. The industry partner is active in the development and implementation of safety training and healthcare technologies for and would commercialize the outcome of this research. This research would also contribute to the training of high-qualified personnel in the fields of mechanical and biomedical engineering.
