Course detail
Sensors for kinantropological measurement
CESA-SSKVAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course deals with sensors of electrical and non-electrical quantities. Students learn the principles and design of sensors, the biosensors and sensors used in sports are emphasised. Students will acquire practical experience with measurement of physical quantities and will be able to independently design and implement systems for sensing physical quantities used in sports technology.
