Becoming an elite athlete requires years of dedication, intense training and hard work. Increasingly, it also requires access to the latest technologies and sophisticated training methods that modern sport science can provide. Unfortunately, this science is expensive and often beyond the means of those living in poverty, with disability or in remote areas. As a result, many cannot realise their sporting goals. In this collaboration between Sports Science and Design, students develop their understanding of energy systems, components of fitness and training techniques. Applying this knowledge, students will design, prototype and test a training aid for athletes in marginalised communities. Students will pitch how their solution contributes to the future success of aspiring athletes.
Strength in Difference.
