Instrumented Track and Field Stadium

The track and field stadium of the TU Darmstadt was renewed in 2013. As a part of the renovation an installation of frames for force plates was included in the 400m running track. Up to 3 Kistler forceplates (9287CA) for 3D force measurements can be integrated into the outdoor track.

In a second installation, a forceplate can be implemented to explore the take-off technique for long jump. Similar to the running track a Kistler force plate with a size of 90 x 60 cm can be used.
