On-field player workload exposure and knee injury risk monitoring via deep learning [PDF]
In sports analytics, an understanding of accurate on-field 3D knee joint moments (KJM) could provide an early warning system for athlete workload exposure and knee injury risk. Traditionally, this analysis has relied on captive laboratory force plates and associated downstream biomechanical modeling, and many researchers have approached the problem of ...

Multiple change point detection in functional data with applications to biomechanical fatigue data [PDF]
Injuries to the lower extremity joints are often debilitating, particularly for professional athletes. Understanding the onset of stressful conditions on these joints is therefore important in order to ensure prevention of injuries as well as individualised training for enhanced athletic performance. We study the biomechanical joint angles from the hip,

Preliminary Report: Cerebral blood flow mediates the relationship between progesterone and perceived stress symptoms among female club athletes after mild traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Female athletes are severely understudied in the field of concussion research, despite higher prevalence for injuries and tendency to have longer recovery time. Hormonal fluctuations due to normal menstrual cycle (MC) or hormonal contraceptive (HC) use have been shown to impact both post-injury symptoms and neuroimaging measures, but have not been ...

Analysis of Smooth Pursuit Assessment in Virtual Reality and Concussion Detection using BiLSTM [PDF]
The sport-related concussion (SRC) battery relies heavily upon subjective symptom reporting in order to determine the diagnosis of a concussion. Unfortunately, athletes with SRC may return-to-play (RTP) too soon if they are untruthful of their symptoms.
