Development and Application of Curling Brush for Evaluating Sweeping Performance

清扫是在冰壶运动中，将刷子移到滑动的石头前面，以清洁或抛光冰面的动作。冰壶运动员经常被要求大力扫冰，以纠正比赛中石头的速度或轨迹。因此，我们试图开发卷曲刷测量在清扫过程中施加的力。研究发现，冰壶运动员在扫地时所能发挥的力量与其身体素质、比赛经验和身体素质水平（尤其是臂力）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).
