The Swedish DALA Sports Academy (DSA) is using the Saturn 450/300rs running machine developed by h/p/cosmos for biathlon and cross country ski training and performance diagnostics. Certified for medical application, the sophisticated treadmill is also used for walking, cycling and running.

The Saturn machine is used to simulate real ski tracks and help athletes train for specific events. The virtual tracks are displayed in front of them while the treadmill simulates the profile of the track, allowing skiers to control the speed using a sensor that detects their position on the treadmill.

The DALA Sports Academy is dedicated to developing sports environments and innovative technologies to serve groups across a diverse range of sectors, including sports, recreation, health, research and education. The DSA is a collaborative effort between the Dalarna University, the municipalities of Falun and Borlänge, Region Dalarna, the Dalarna Sports Federation, and Teknikdalen Foundation, and supported by a regional development fund of the EU.
