# Nano4Sports in Team Scheire 

'Team Scheire' is a Flemish TV program with a similar concept as BBC Two's 'The Big Life Fix'. In the program, makers create ingenious new solutions to everyday problems and build life-changing solutions for people in desperate need.

One of the cases is [Ben](https://www.canvas.be/team-scheire/ben). Ben loves to run but has a recurring running related injury. To monitor Ben's running and determine a maximum training length a sensor was developed that measures the impact and the amount of steps taken. The program makers were interested in the results of the [Nano4Sports project at UGent](https://www.ugent.be/en/research/research-ugent/trackrecord/trackrecord-h2020/interreg/interreg-vlaanderen-nederland-nano4sports.htm). One of the aims of that project is to build those type of sensors and knowhow related to correct interpretation of data and use of such devices. Below a video with some background information can be found:

The solution build for the program is documented in a [Github Repository](https://github.com/TeamScheire/theBenZ) One of the scientific results of the Nano4Sports project can be found in an article for the Journal of Biomechanics titled [*Validity and reliability of peak tibial accelerations as real-time measure of impact loading during over-ground rearfoot running at different speeds*.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021929019300764)
