Real-time feedback system for the center of mass during a routine on balance beam
To give insights in the center of mass during a routine on balance beam, Xsens can be used. Xsens is a real-time motion capture system, which, on basis of 17 accelerometers, creates an avatar of the gymnast.
Gymnastics TrainersCockpit
the Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam has developed, together with the Koninklijke Nederlandse Gymnastiek Unie (KNG), Janssen-Fritsen (J&F), NOC*NSF and InnoSportNL, the ‘Gymnastics TrainerCockPit’ (TTCP). This equipment makes it possible to measure in technical sports, starting with gymnastics
Test battery trampoline gymnastics
This test battery will focus on four areas; Anthropometry, Flexibility, Force and Trampoline specific abilities.
Validation of neurofeedback
Mental aspects play an important part in reaching (elite) top performances. With a ‘braintrainer’, one could, on basis of the neurofeeback*-principle, optimize the mental fitness of elite athletes.
Training device rings
Because of the Fifty-Fifty device from Janssen-Fritsen, ring gymnasts have the opportunity to train at 50% (of their effort) during their ring exercise. However, for most elite gymnasts, 50% is too much help.
