Assessment of neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive performance in running and hopping tasks using wearable sensors

The objectives of this research project are (a) to record neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive related data using wearable sensors during running and hopping as two basic activities of many sports; and (b) convert the data to medically meaningful indicators of athletic performance and risk of injury using signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The project outcomes will fuel iKinesia’s ongoing research to develop and enhance its solution for Canadian athletes and sports teams at both national level and private clubs. iKinesia’s solution will benefit athletes and coaches to improve and personalize assessment and training, augment game strategy, capture noteworthy players, reduce the risk of sports related injuries, and accurately determine the return to play time post injury.
