The Competitive Edge. | 3. The Science of Sport Equipment

In this episode we speak to Bahador Keshvari, a researcher at
TUM's Professorship for Sport Equipment and Sport Material - and
discuss the importance of shoes to competitive sport, and the
science behind their constant development.

Shoes play an important role in most disciplines, and their use
in athletics has become ever more controversial as materials
science pushes performance of competitors beyond what was
previously possible.

What drives the development of sport shoes? ... and how can they
be designed to help athletes be more safe and successful?
