Leap into Learning: A Biomechanics Tool for Interactive Education in Jumping Mechanics
Public DepositedContenu téléchargeable
open in viewerBiomechanical concepts are present in many everyday activities, but exposure usually occurs in high school or college. The goal of the project was to develop an interactive model to educate children about biomechanics. To show the power and force produced while jumping, a platform was created consisting of air pumps, load cells, and LED strips connected to an Arduino Uno for computations using MATLAB. Visual aids included a ball that rose from the air produced when landing. A vertical rung stand provided jump height measurements interactively. After testing, the device met the established criteria, however improvements could be made.
