Dooley, Erin (author)Prostheses and orthoses are trending towards digital methods and automation. Adopting these methods is especially a challenge at Frank Jol, a clinic where patients' wide variety in residual limb characteristics and high activity demands pose a challenge for digital workflows which utilise 3D scanning to arrive at a final prosthesis. This is...master thesis 2023

Hendriks, Fenne (author)In this research a double diamond method was used to redesign a gymnastic crashmat to enable easier transportation without reducing its functionality. This was done since the presence of such mats is questionable in event halls, mainly in international competitions. This makes it impossible for athletes to make use of crashmats during training...master thesis 2023

Looijen, Timo (author)Javelin throwing in the winter is not fun when the temperature approaches zero degrees. That is way javelin throwers move indoors for training. The problem with training indoors it that there is no room to throw a javelin 80 meters, so a different type of training is used. The javelin fitted with a rubber tip is thrown into a net. This way, the...master thesis 2020

Marinel-lo Amat, Maximilià (author)Trials is a subdiscipline of mountain biking that consists of two variants: one practiced with a trials bicycle and one with a trials motorcycle. Though these two disciplines have the same basic requirements, there are clear distinctions in the technical sports gestures that the respective athletes employ. This is due to some fundamental...master thesis 2019

Spijkerman, B. (author)Discus throwing outdoors provides the coach and athlete with direct feedback on the performance in the form of a final distance. Even by eye this can intuitively be judged. When switching to indoor training come winter, this intuitive measure is taken away as the athletes throw into a net suspended 5–8 metres in front of them. The coach believes...master thesis 2017

Dijkema, E. (author)The goal of the ASICS- Innovation on the move project was to provide ASICS with more insight into their current innovation processes and provide them with recommendations on how these could be improved. A design project was executed to illustrate the strategic recommendations. This led to the design of ASICS Vibe. Vibe is a wearable device which...master thesis 2017

Oude Nijhuis, R. (author)Avalanches cause injuries to more than 1500 people on an annual basis. 150 of those victims do not live to tell the tale. As such, avalanches are the most prominent safety concern for freeriders. Most lives can be saved by prolonging the breathing period that buried avalanche victims have from 15 minutes (after which acute asphyxiation occurs)...master thesis 2016
