Are you a student interested in human movement analysis with a focus on (adaptive) sports, research and Arduino/Python programming? Then this minor is for you! In this in-depth minor, you will be introduced to many different forms of Sport Data Analysis. You will also work on a project in which you will design and build an Arduino based system to measure sports performance. In doing this, you will become aware of current developments in sports technology and sports biomechanics. 

You will develop skills in research, 3D human motion analysis, accelerometry and programming with Python and Arduino.

Not currently studying in a related field but interested in this minor? If you have sufficient skills in (bio)mechanics and Python programming, you can successfully participate.

If we are unsure whether you can successfully participate in this minor, an intake interview may be part of the admission process.

Motion analysis 

Example: Is capable of performing analyses (related to design, realisation and behaviour of a product, a possible recommendation and/or possible research; is capable of recording, quantifying and analysing various parameters related to kinetics using kinetic registration techniques; 

Is capable of analysing movement using theoretical, biomechanical, physical and/or other models. 

Tests and research 

Example: On the basis of a particular problem, the student is capable of setting up research in an area of kinetic technology. This includes the format of a theoretical test (literature study and model creation) as well as an applied research user investigation. 

Consultancy and information provision 

Example: Is capable of providing advice and information regarding all activities related to kinetic technology, kinetic technology products and designs. 

Coordination and assistance 

Example: Is capable of assisting and coordinating activities of multidisciplinary teams involved in issues related to human kinetics. 

Management 

Example:The student is capable of planning, organising, coordinating and evaluating his or her own work and projects. The student is flexible and client-focused in behaviour and combines stamina and entrepreneurship for achieving the objective(s) set. The student is capable of setting up and maintaining his or her own network within his/her area of expertise and related areas of expertise. In doing so, he/she is capable of communicating, negotiating and cooperating with others from different disciplines, including (para) medical, technical and commercial. The student is capable of managing projects and processes related to kinetic technology. In doing so, he/she is capable of working within the framework of project management, has a pragmatic project approach and is capable of fulfilling the role ascribed to him or her in this context. The student follows the international developments relevant to his/her work closely and has a knowledge system in which he or she can store and retrieve these developments. 

Communications 

Example: 

Is capable of effectively expressing him/herself in a professional context; is capable of drafting lucid reports (research reports, advice protocol, literature studies, and so forth); is capable of performing a literature study on a subject related to the profession. Is also capable of setting down the most important conclusions of this research on paper in a readable and structured manner. 

Students should have demonstrable basic knowledge of the Matlab software program and (bio) mechanics.  

Students from other study programmes than the organising study programme must have an admission interview with the coordinators. This interview will determine whether the student will be admitted to the minor.
