SMART SPORTS EXERCISES

The Smart Sports Exercises project (2018-2021) was carried out with funding by ZonMw for two years as part of the ZonMw research programme Sports and Movement... This project researched and developed new forms of sports training for volleyball. To this end we worked with a special playing field: an interactive floor that can display graphics and video. In addition, the floor contains unobtrusive pressure sensors... In this project we developed a large number of examples of such exercises. Some exercises were only built as non-working example, a movie or similar, to explore the ideas. Other exercises were built completely and could actually be played on the interactive floor. The exercises have been tested with a large number of trainers and athletes. In this way we could improve the technology, but also see whether the technology really has the potential to make a difference. Ultimately, the results of this research should lead to the development of new kinds of "smart sports halls".
