The objective of this study was to assess the suitability Microsoft Kinect depth camera as a tool in segment scanning, tracking and player tracking. A mannequin scanned with laser scanner. geometries were truncated create torso 'segments' compared. Separate shoulder abduction ( − 100° 50°) flexion motions (0°–100°) recorded by (using free commercial software) Motion Analysis Corporation (MAC) system. Segment angles participant's centre mass (COM) tracked over 6 × 3 m floor area using MAC...
Local dynamic stability (LDS) of gait has been used to differentiate between healthy and injured populations, establishing its potential as an indicator a new objective measure assess function following injury. For LDS be reliable assessment tool progression during rehabilitation, it must provide consistent sensitive inter-session measures. Methodological factors such trial duration, variable, Lyapunov Exponent (LyE) algorithm can influence estimation reliability. Young people are high-risk...
The purpose of this study was to determine the number crank revolutions required obtain stable mean values sagittal plane biomechanics variables, and between-session reliability these whilst cyclists used an aerodynamic position. Eighteen elite completed a 3-min maximal bout on cycling ergometer. Lower-limb kinematic kinetic data were captured using 2D motion capture force pedals. Raw filtered 4th order Butterworth low-pass filter (6 hz) interpolated 100 points per revolution. middle 60 each...
The Microsoft Kinect is a cheap consumer device capable of markerless body segment tracking. While it was not originally designed for research applications, studies have been performed which utilise its capabilities. In order to better define the suitability in clinical and biomechanical context, study assessed accuracy 12 separate movements two different software-based tracking algorithms (IPIsoft NITE). were chosen represent variety joint motions speeds. Ten participants (height, 185 ± 6...
The objective of the study was to explore coaches’ philosophies regarding strength training (repetitive muscle actions against high loads) and transfer sports performance. Thirteen world class coaches athletes from track cycling, Bicycle Moto-Cross (BMX), sprint kayaking, rowing athletics sprinting were interviewed using an open-ended, semi-structured approach. Participants asked about their coaching philosophies, design athlete programmes, its A thematic analysis conducted. Data...
The variability and regularity of stride time may help identify individuals at a greater risk injury during military load carriage. Wearable sensors could provide cost-effective, portable solution for recording these measures, but establishing their validity is necessary. This study aimed to determine the agreement several measures across five wearable (Opal APDM, Vicon Blue Trident, Axivity, Plantiga, Xsens DOT) force plates Nineteen Australian Army trainee soldiers (age: 24.8 ± 5.3 years,...
The aim of this study was to examine whether perceptual variables can provide informational constraints for the goalkeepers intercept ball successfully in 1v1 dyads.

Real-time monitoring and feedback of tibial acceleration using wireless skin mounted sensors may reduce the risk stress fractures in runners. The purpose this study was to assess agreement between a accelerometer gold standard reference accelerometer, both mounted, measuring peak axial when treadmill running at range speeds. A research grade attached tibia. Peak positive accelerations 13 participants were compared 2.5, 3.5 4.5 m s− 1. Intraclass correlation coefficients demonstrated good...
