[Master / Semester thesis] Biomechanical Analysis of a 3D Printed Insole for Soccer Players

23.01.2026, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Biomechanical experiment on soccer players (both female and male) in lab settings, to study the effect of an insole on muscular activity, kinematics, kinetics. To help reduce non-contact injuries in football

Within the research project FormFit, we aim to develop a custom 3d-printed insole for soccer players to reduce noncontact
injuries in soccer. The first version of the insole is now ready, and we are eager to see its benefits for soccer
players. To achieve this, we want to conduct a precise biomechanical analysis in a laboratory environment. We plan
to test 20 to 30 players (both female and male).
We will be using different measurement systems : motion capture, pressure insoles, electromyography, and force
plate.
We are looking for motivated students (up to 4 students, ideally one per system), willing to learn how to use these
measurements systems and conduct and analyze the experiments while exploring the effects insoles can have on
the behavior of the athlete..
Your tasks would be:
• State-of-the-art literature research
• Getting accustomed with the measurement systems
• Conduct the experiments following a precise protocol
• Analyze the results (post-processing, filtering, statistical analysis, …)
• Work as a team with other students and the project partners to plan, set up and analyze the results
