MEASURING DYNAMIC SKI BEHAVIOR WITH STRAIN GAUGES

The performance of a ski is influenced not only by geometric properties such as length, width, camber height, side cut and thickness; but also by the deformation behaviour caused by the mechanical properties (Kaps et al. 2001). The purpose of this work was to evaluate the influence of flexural and torsional stiffness on the deformation of a ski during turns

Effectiveness of a teaching unit on the willingness to consume insect-based food – An intervention study with adolescents from Germany

This study investigated the effect of a four-lesson teaching unit titled “Entomophagy and Sustainability” on the willingness of adolescents in Germany to consume insect-based food (N = 114; MAge = 15.77 years; SDAge = 1.12 years; female = 58.8%). The main aim of the study was to test whether the teaching unit can induce long-term changes in selected nutritional-psychological factors (food disgust, food neophobia, food technology neophobia), attitudes, knowledge, and the willingness to consume insect-based food. For this purpose, a paper-pencil questionnaire was conducted immediately before (pre-test), immediately after (post-test), and approximately six weeks after (follow-up test) the teaching unit. Although significant changes in food disgust, food neophobia, food technology neophobia, attitudes, and knowledge were recorded, adolescents’ willingness to consume insect-based food was not significantly increased. Attitudes were identified as the strongest predictor of adolescents’ willingness to consume, while knowledge was not a significant predictor. Conclusions and recommendations that can be applied to other educational interventions are provided to increase the effectiveness of the teaching unit
