中文摘要
铁人三项潜水服设计和制造专家Huub设计有限公司成立于2011年,并迅速成为其特定市场的创新领导者。在2013年“220铁人三项奖”中获得年度潜水服品牌和年度创新产品的两个著名奖项,其旗舰阿基米德潜水服。Huub在质量和创新有效的产品方面拥有迅速增长的声誉,这源于他们基于研究,科学,现实原则的设计和生产过程。铁人三项运动员人数众多——世界范围内参加铁人三项的人数超过400万,很容易被证明是合理的——英国的平均工资为4.5万英镑,美国的平均工资为12.6万美元,具有竞争力,并且愿意投资于能够帮助他们从个人最佳成绩中缩短几秒的设备。从历史上看,这项运动的自行车部分受益于技术。通过完成这一原型项目的开发,Huub打算确保游泳被视为一个可以投资技术以获得回报的领域。潜水服的宣传文献中充斥着提高性能的技术,却没有提供量化的证据。作为这个项目的结果,Huub将开发一个水下系统,可以测量和证明使用潜水服的量化收益。在发展的同时;Huub将与内部游泳生物力学专家和外部世界领先的泳姿分析师SwimSmooth合作开发套装,这有助于开发和提供更优越、更快的泳姿。最后,3d身体扫描技术将与授权软件一起使用,该软件允许将图像平铺成图案面板,用于生产一个系统,该系统提供适合每个运动员的服装,以达到完美。从而创造出一种不等同于潜水服行业的服务,通过科学、研究,将其转化为现实。
英文摘要
Traithlon wetsuit design and manufacturing specialist Huub Designs Limited was formed in2011 and has quickly established itself as an innovative leader within its particular market.Winning two prestigious awards at the 2013 ‘220 Triathlon Awards’ for wetsuit brand of theyear and innovative product of the year for their flagship Archimedes wetsuit. Huub have aburgeoning reputation for quality and innovative effective products which results from theirdesign and production process founded on the principles: research, science, reality.Triathletes as a demographic are numerous – worldwide participation can easily be justified at4m+, affluent – average salaries in the UK are £45k and in the USA are $126k, competitive,and willing to invest in equipment which will help them to shave seconds from a personal besttime. Historically the bike section of the sport is that which has benefitted from technology.Through the completion of this proposed development of prototype project Huub intend toensure that the swim is seen as an area where technology can be invested in to returnperformance gains.Wetsuit promotional literature is littered with references to technology that adds performance,with no quantified evidence provided. As a result of this project Huub will develop an inwater system which allows quantified gains from wetsuit use to be measured and evidenced.Alongside this development; Huub will work with internal swimming bio-mechanic expertsand external world leading swim stroke analysts SwimSmooth to develop suit incorporationswhich aid the development and delivery of a superior and faster swim stroke. Finally, 3Dbody scanning technology will be utilised along with licensed software which allows forimages to be flattened into pattern panels for the production of a system which provides suitsthat fit each athlete, to perfection. Thus creating a wetsuit service without equivalent to theindustry through the delivery of science, research, to reality.
