Overview
What you will study
The overall goal of KTH Royal Institute of Technology's Health and Sports Instrumentation course is to provide a deeper understanding of measurable sport-related signals in the human body and instrumentation, to increase understanding of the function and application of modern sports and medical sensors and measurement principles, processing and presentation of results, and the ability to construct the measuring system for measuring physiological parameters.
After successful completion of the course the student will be able to:- explain different sport-related signals (e.g. bioelectrical, respiratory gases) origin and significance.
- judge the characteristics of different sensors, the advantages and disadvantages, and choosing appropriate sensors for measuring force, movement, pressure, flow, volume and concentration of blood and respiratory gases.
- evaluate the possibilities, limitations and sources of error in various methods of signal processing applied on sport-related signals.
- use a few sensors, such as accelerometer, thermistors, piezoelectric, optical and magnetic to measure physiological signals.
- given a sport-related problem, is able to identify relevant criterias and design several relevant solutions.
- can work independently to large degree within sport-related instrumentations.
