| Abstract | Even at the highest levels of competition it is necessary for skaters to continue to improve their skating technique. Our invention uses strain gauges along the length of the blade to measure how the force transitions along the blade during skating. In the future we hope to develop training software that can work wirelessly to capture the skaters technique and measure key performance metrics. |
