Abstract

This book discusses the science of footwear traction and its relationship with slips and falls. It presents a detailed introduction to slips and falls and how crucial footwear traction is to avoid such incidents. The book covers ergonomics involved in the development of tread designs and the study of their effect on traction across footwear and systematically modified shoes. It discusses characterization techniques employed in the study of footwear traction across normal gait activities, such as walking and running and in sports, such as sprinting, basketball, and football. The book also covers the role of flooring and slippery contaminants on footwear traction and its generalizability. Additionally, the book also presents how the wear of footwear outsoles may reduce the traction at the shoe-floor and lead to slips and falls. It also discusses the challenges with the existing footwear traction testing methods, and the latest developments in this niche area are highlighted. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in ergonomics, footwear technology, manufacturing engineering, safety engineering, and design engineering and its allied fields. .

Abstract

In recent years, computer science in sport has grown extremely, mainly because more and more new data has become available. Computer science tools in sports, whether used for opponent preparation, competition, or scientific analysis, have become indispensable across various levels of expertise nowadays. A completely new market has emerged through the utilization of these tools in the four major fields of application: clubs and associations, business, science, and the media. This market is progressively gaining importance within university research and educational activities. This textbook aims to live up to the now broad diversity of computer science in sport by having more than 30 authors report from their special field and concisely summarise the latest findings. The book is divided into four main sections: data sets, modelling, simulation and data analysis. In addition to background information on programming languages and visualisation, the textbook is framed by history and an outlook. Students with a connection to sports science are given a comprehensive insight into computer science in sport, supported by a didactically sophisticated concept that makes it easy to convey the learning content. Numerous questions for self-testing underpin the learning effect and ensure optimal exam preparation. For advanced students, the in-depth discussion of time series data mining, artificial neural networks, convolution kernels, transfer learning and random forests offers additional value. The Editor Prof. Dr Daniel Memmert is the executive director and professor at the Institute of Exercise Training and Sport Informatics at the German Sport University Cologne. He is the editor and author of numerous textbooks with a focus on exercise science, sports psychology and informatics. His institute organises two certificate programmes (Game Analysis Team Cologne / Sports Director in Youth and Amateur Soccer) as well as the first international Master's degree programme "Match Analysis".
