The first standard to regulate on artificial turf properties for paddle tennis is now under way
Paddle tennis is a relatively new sport and, despite the fact that more and more facilities are being made available to the ever-growing number of lovers of the game, it does not receive the treatment that is meted out to a majority sport. In this context, it is indeed remarkable that no studies have been carried out to identify what properties the surfaces on which the game is played should have. As a result, artificial grass surfaces have been manufactured and installed without anyone knowing whether their properties are suitable from the players’ safety and performance point of view. This article summarizes the work that the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) has carried out in order to develop a technical document to regulate the properties of such surfaces. It is currently being reviewed by members of the SC3 of the CTN 147 Technical Committee for Standardization.
Valencia“Circuit 5k Jardí del Túria”, a river of runners
Valencia has a new running path 5,731 meters long in a park placed in the city center. The Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) has advised on the design of the route, its geometry and dimensions, the selection and testing of the pavement, as well as on the circuit signaling.
“Circuit 5k Jardí del Túria” de Valencia. Un río de corredores
Valencia dispone de una instalación deportiva de 5.731 metros para correr en un entorno ajardinado por el centro de la ciudad pensada específicamente para corredores. El Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) ha participado en el diseño del circuito asesorando en su recorrido, geometría y dimensiones, en la selección y evaluación del pavimento, así como en la señalización del circuito.
Innovation in biomechanical assessment. Laboratories in search of clinical and care excellence
The management of a biomechanical assessment service can be described as the process of integrating the elements of both the laboratory and its environment, with the main objective being to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its processes.
The support activities of the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) intended for laboratories who use biomechanical assessment techniques, aim to maximize the use and consolidation of the health services they provide, with particular emphasis on nuclear procedures related to its organization, strategy and development of continuous improvement processes.
