study. Most significantly the skier GPS unit was upgraded to a module that provided dataat 5Hz, a slalom course was used to enforce a more structured series of activities and anIMU sensor was added to the slalom ski to quantify 3-D ski motionThe typical data streams produced from the instrumentation demonstrate the variety ofperformance parameters that can be abstracted. The application of the results couldinclude advanced equipment design, equipment setup optimization, skier techniqueoptimization.Data transmission issues and time constraints were the largest hurdles during the testdays. For future data collection sessions it will be essential to resolve the intermittentsignal loss with the IMU RF transceiver system. The cost and challenges involved inorganizing this study make it crucial for each test day to be used effectively.6 AcknowledgementsFor simplicity, all acknowledgements can be found after the main title page of this thesis.7 ReferencesFor simplicity, a master reference list was used and can be found after Chapter 6.48
