Learning outcomes
Sport technology, is a relatively new field of the applied engineering sciences and has a deep impact on sport technique and performance. Of course, it is a technical field, with a strong commitment to innovation dictated by competition and markets. What make sport technology close to biotechnology is that ST has to deal with human factors. This makes sport gears design a complex field, which includes also psychological factors and even arts. From a bioengineering point of view, it is important to manage as a first base, mathematics. Without a knowledge of mathematics is impossible to sound design anything. As well imagination is necessary, but to deploy the full power of imagination is necessary a technique. Both side of human Ingenius are thus necessary.
