Design the equipment on the basis of sparse modeling
Performance of athletes depends both on the athlete and the equipment; both must work in harmony. Generally, there are many design variables during the design stage. It is also difficult to estimate the index of performances multiple times, due to time and budget constraints. This brings us to sparse modeling – number of estimations of index of performance are few, but design variables are many. In this ISEA international lecture series, the concept of designing the equipment on the basis of sparse modeling will be discussed.

Design the perfect sportswear through the utilization of the pyramid of comfort
Professor Ada Ferri from the Department of Applied Science and Technology at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy will present our first lecture of 2024. The concept of the pyramid of comfort has been a long standing approach in the design and evaluation of comfortable clothing In the presented speech, the focus is on elucidating the various levels of textile testing and exploring the intricate interactions between clothing and human physiology This exploration seeks to gain a deep understanding of the performance of clothing, with the goal of uncovering the dynamics that contribute to an optimal relationship between the athlete and the clothing.

Why do we need a 3D printed basketball?
A 3D printed basketball made by Wilson Sporting Goods was used by Houston Rockets player K J Martin in the 2023 NBA All Star Dunk contest Why was this basketball made and why does it matter? What are the academic, scientific, business, and social implications of using such a technology in sport? How do innovations like this intersect with the Sports Engineering community? Learn the history and forecast the future of the ball.
