The Vibe of Skating; Design and Testing of a Vibro-Tactile Feedback System

Proceedings, 2018
Providing athletes with real-time feedback on their performance is becoming common in many sports, also in speed skating. This research-by-design project aims at finding a tool that allows the speed skater to get real-time feedback on his performance ...

Revisiting mechanics of ice–skate friction: from experiments at a skating rink to a unified hypothesis

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
The mechanics underlying ice–skate friction remain uncertain despite over a century of study. In the 1930s, the theory of self-lubrication from frictional heat supplanted an earlier hypothesis that pressure melting governed skate friction. More recently,

Co-Innovation between a Lead User and Producers:

Maketingu Janaru, 2019
In this paper, we discuss co-innovation between Lead Users and Producers. To practically apply the user innovation theory to product development, two methods have been used: the lead user method and user-community based theory.

The effect of klapskate hinge position on push-off performance: a simulation study [PDF]

, 2003
klapskate in speed skating confronts skaters with the question of how to adjust the position of the hinge in order to maximize performance. The purpose of this study was to reveal the constraint that klapskate hinge position imposes on push-off ...

On-ice measures of external load in relation to match outcome in elite female ice hockey [PDF]

, 2019
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences between select on-ice measures using inertial movement sensors based on match outcome, and to determine changes in player movements across three periods of play.

How ploughing and frictional melting regulate ice-skating friction

Friction, 2023
The slipperiness of ice is well known while, for ice skating, its mechanism still needs further investigation, where the complex interactions including the thermal conduction of the skate—meltwater—ice system, the ploughing and the frictional melting of ...

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.
