The system will measure data during the run on a skeleton track using several sensors and process and visualise the data afterwards in order to shorten the learning curve of the athlete and give quantitative feedback. The subsystem discussed in this report concerns the measurement of the forces between the body and the sled in order to analyse the steering behaviour of the athlete. This is accomplished via thin film resistive force transducers. The g-forces on the athlete and the sled and the orientation of the sled are measured as well in order to give a better insight how this influences steering and is measured using an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). The data is collected using an ESP32 microprocessor.
