A sports technology company is looking to develop an advanced performance analysis system for sprint canoeing. To accurately measure paddle stroke efficiency, they need a force measurement system that can be embedded in the paddle shaft to capture force data in multiple directions.
Interface’s 6A80 6-Axis Load Cell can be installed in the canoe paddles shaft which can measure forces applied by the paddle in different directions. When an athlete paddles, researchers can see how different stroke techniques affected efficiency and propulsion. Data can be recorded with supplied BlueDAQ software using the BX8-AS BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System.
Interface’s 6A80 6-Axis Load Cell installed into the canoe paddle successfully gathered the force data in all directions in order to accurately measure paddle stroke efficiency.
