Predicting Active Foot Contact In The Acceleration Phase Of Athletic Sprinting Through Accelerometer Measurements, Marvin Zedler, Veit Schopper, Wolfgang Potthast, Jan-Peter Goldmann
ISBS Proceedings Archive
Active foot contact (absence of a braking impulse) during the acceleration phase of athletic sprinting is associated with the motion of the foot before touchdown (TD). Since the identification of braking impulses through force plate measurements is cost-expensive, the aim of this study was to develop a machine learning algorithm to predict active foot contact occurrences based on ankle-mounted accelerometer measurements. Ten recreationally active athletes (three females, seven males) performed 30 sprint-block-starts each, which were used as input to the machine learning model. Model performance was assessed by the AUC for both validation (AUC = 0.96) and testing (AUC = …

Evaluating Performance Measures For The Bobsleigh Push Start, Marvin Zedler
ISBS Proceedings Archive
Quantification of performance is essential to understand performance determinants. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate different performance measures applied to the bobsleigh push start and to discuss the choice of an appropriate measure for research and coaching. Measures based on the change in kinetic energy and based on the change in momentum were calculated for the early acceleration phase during the push start and compared by means of correlation analyses. Both energy-based and momentum-based methods lead to similar results while it is important to consider the athlete and the bob as a system. Further clarification is required …

ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study assessed the body’s kinematic responses to unpredictable gait perturbations repeatedly induced by a fall-inducing technology platform in young and older adults. Ten young adults (young group) and ten older adults (older group) completed two trials with the gait perturbation (i.e., trip). Maximum trunk flexion angle, maximum right hip flexion angle, and minimum whole-body center of mass (COM) position quantified the body’s kinematic responses for a pre-trip period and a recovery period. The results showed that both groups significantly increased maximum trunk flexion angle and maximum right hip flexion angle during the recovery period compared to the pre-trip period. …

Multi-Axis Force Plates and 3D Motion Capture were adopted to collect data. Six male darts athletes, including three elite athletes and three sub elite athletes, throw darts to hit Bull's Eye abiding the rules of the World Darts Federation. The study shows that during acceleration phase, the ground reaction force of elite athletes changes substantially, while the change of ground reaction force of sub elite athletes was relatively small. Significant difference of the change in the …
The Influence Of Mood During Treadmill Running On Biomechanical Asymmetry Of The Lower-Limb, Cheryl A. Williams Miss, Timothy Exell Dr, Miznah Al-Abbadey Dr
The Influence Of Mood During Treadmill Running On Biomechanical Asymmetry Of The Lower-Limb, Cheryl A. Williams Miss, Timothy Exell Dr, Miznah Al-Abbadey Dr
ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study aimed to investigate if mood effects lower-limb biomechanical asymmetry during running. Twenty runners (13M, 7F; age 22-58 years), performed four 3-minute runs at their 5km pace (3.3 ± 0.3 m/s), preceded by a mood questionnaire. Baseline data were captured, followed by randomised mood conditions: anger, happiness, and sadness; elicited with film clips and music. Symmetry angles used for analysis. In the sadness condition, compared with baseline, biomechanical asymmetry significantly increased (p < .05) by 3.7% at ground contact for hip abduction, and at toe-off for knee abduction by 0.6% and internal rotation by 1.1%. Toe-off plantarflexion asymmetry decreased by 2.2% with anger, compared to baseline. Happiness did not appear to affect asymmetry. Results suggest sadness may increase asymmetry and associated overuse injury risk, and anger may facilitate symmetry.

Evaluating The Influence Of Knee Joint Angle On Maximum Isometric Belt Squat Performance, Madison Treece, Andrew Nordin
ISBS Proceedings Archive
Belt squat testing measures maximum upward isometric force from the lower extremities using a ground-tethered belt around the waist. A lack of standardized body positioning during isometric belt squat testing can lead to inconsistent test results. We aimed to evaluate the influence of sagittal knee joint angles on maximum isometric belt squat performance. Thirty-three healthy volunteers (24 female) performed one maximal effort belt squat at five randomly ordered sagittal knee joint angle ranges: (1) 80-100°, (2) 100-120°, (3) 120-140°, (4) 140-160°, and (5) 160-180°. Sagittal knee joint angles between 120-140° and 140-160° led to greater maximum vertical ground reaction forces …

ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study aimed to establish the affordance and its role in Sepaktakraw serve for coaching implications. Five successful kuda and sila trials performed by two trained male players, captured using a high-speed optical camera system, were analyzed. Variations in kicking limb hip-knee joint coordination to impact suggest ball placements be an affordance in Sepaktakraw serve. This affords what the server must do to ensure optimal foot-to-ball impact velocities without compromising ball velocities. With differences in kicking limb length, this coordination becomes player specific, and the ability to adapt and adjust his coordination pattern depends on such affordance. Servers must vary …

The Influence Of Grip Positioning On Muscle Activation Patterns In Tennis Forehand: A Preliminary Investigation, Magdalena Stepnik, Stephanie L. Jones
ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study compared muscle activation patterns during the forehand stroke among thirteen nonprofessional tennis players across three grip positions [Eastern(4), Semi Western(6), Western(3)]. Surface electromyography was used to assess fourteen trunk and dominant upper arm muscles, while hitting forehand crosscourt shots using their preferred grip. Individuals using Semi Western grip demonstrated higher activation of proximal musculature responsible for horizontal flexion/internal rotation at the shoulder (Pectoralis), whereas those using Eastern grip had higher activation in distal musculature (FCU, ECR), acting primarily to control flexion/extension. These differences suggest the Eastern grip requires less axial rotation of the arm but more contribution of …

Sagittal plane trunk movement is important for producing propulsive force when sit-skiing. We aimed to validate the use of inertial measurement units for measuring sagittal plane trunk movements during sit-skiing in the field. Able-bodied participants (n=4) performed 30 seconds of sit-skiing in a kneeling position on a treadmill while one AdMos IMU sensor (on the upper back) and 4 reflective markers on the trunk recorded kinematics. A secondary validation was performed with 4 sensors and markers attached to a rigid body, which was rotated to mimic the trunk during sit-skiing. For the rigid body, the root mean square error was

Measuring Instantaneous Velocity In Four Swim Strokes Using An Automatic Head Tracking System: A Comparison Study, Michelle Scott, Nathan Elsworthy, Marc Elipot, Victoria Brackley, Crystal O. Kean
ISBS Proceedings Archive
This study compared instantaneous swimming velocity from an automated video-based system to a tethered speedometer. Twenty-two state- and national-level swimmers (7 M, 15 F; 14.5 ± 2.5 yrs) swam 25 m of each stroke at maximal intensity. Bland-Altman plots showed good agreement between systems for backstroke and freestyle but poorer agreement for butterfly and breaststroke. The RMS error was also lower in backstroke and freestyle compared to butterfly and breaststroke. The differences in systems may be explained by the different body segments tracked by each system (head vs hips) and with differences being more apparent during butterfly and breaststroke due …

Accurate prediction of the lumbosacral and hip joint centres (LSJC, HJC) is crucial for the analysis of lumbo-pelvic-hip dynamics in various movements. Here we show that pre-existing regressions proposed by European research groups produce biased estimates of the LSJC and HJC in Japanese males and females (n = 23, 24), and that the biases in LSJC depend on sex. When compared to locations directly measured by MRI, the pre-existing regressions estimated the LSJC to be more posterior in males and more inferior and posterior in females, and the HJC to be more medial for both sexes. We suggest the …

This study aimed to investigate whether a technique-oriented intervention would result in improvements in sprint running technique and sprint performance in youth soccer players. Fourteen youth soccer players with pelvis and trunk control issues were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group did three weekly 15 minute running technique-oriented training sessions over seven weeks while their counterparts continued with their usual training programme. Sprint performance and technique were assessed before and after the intervention with a Laveg device and two video cameras, respectively, during a 40-m maximal sprint test. The players of the intervention group showed improved control …

The aim of this study was to assess whether clustering runners based on their technique resulted in consistent group allocations across multiple speeds. Eighty-four runners (34 females) completed four 4-minute running stages at 10, 11, 12 and 13 km/h. For each stage, running technique was characterised using a set of continuous variables in the sagittal plane and discrete stride-based variables. An autoencoder neural network was used for dimensionality reduction and agglomerative hierarchical clustering was applied to identify groups of runners with a similar technique. Two clusters for each speed were selected and the clustering partitions at different incremental speeds were …
