Intelligent kayak, customizable according to the canoeist’s characteristics, to optimize the performance of the kayak/athlete ensemble
28 November 2020 Project SheetINEGI's Contribution
- Development of kayak evaluation systems, characterizing their mechanical and hydrodynamic properties.
- Development of a ballast mechanism for the optimization of the kayak, distributing mass in specific places along its length, and allowing the alteration of the mechanical properties according to the athletes’ preferences and objectives.
- Development of a sensor to monitor, in real time, the athlete’s and vessel’s performance.
