| dc.description.abstract | Understanding the physics and biomechanics behind high jump is crucial to designing an improved pair of new high jump spikes. Nate's biomechanical interest will play a big role in his ideation process and ultimately his new design. Designing spikes for high jump is challenging because there is so much going on with the body and the feet. Nate will have to look at video analysis of high jumpers during their jump to better understand what is happening to the body and the foot. He will use his knowledge in biomechanics to identify the direction of forces, gait cycle, foot pressure mapping and more. By understanding these, he can better design a spike that not only makes the athletes jump higher but reduce the amount of stress of their foot. With the connections Nate has with track and field, he is able to receive the athlete insight he needs on high jump. Using this insight will be very useful in product directions and concerns that the users have on current products. In the end, all this information will help Nate make proper design solutions and make a shoe that high jumpers will like noticeably better than previous products. Nate will tackle the recovery shoe in the same way as the training shoe and spikes, by using athlete insight and biomechanics. The recovery shoe will be tailored towards high jumpers but Nate will be using other athletes that have used recovery shoes for their opinions and advice. The recovery shoe is looking specifically into the traveling aspect of the athlete and how that can affect their recovery. College and professional athletes will travel the same day or the morning after they compete and this can cause extra strain on their muscles and recovery time. Nate will look at what muscles high jumpers mainly use and see if he can tend to those areas. He will also look into if the effects of air travel on muscles and ways a recovery shoe can combat those effects. By making a successful recovery shoe, the athlete/ high jumper will need less time to recover so they can feel better and start training again. Nate will also design this shoe for injury prevention in mind so high jumpers can focus on training and not on healing their body. | en_US |
