Skeletal muscle properties and performance in elite female track athletes

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1981
Selected biochemical and physiological properties of skeletal muscle were studied in light of performance capabilities in 24 elite female track athletes. The feasibility of quantifying end point histochemistry and relating oxidative staining density (reduced nicotinomide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase: NADH-D) to whole body maximal oxygen consumption (

Human skeletal tracking using colour MSERs

Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Image and Vision Computing New Zealand, 2012
Human Skeletal Tracking has a variety of applications in many vision and graphics tasks like Gesture Recognition and 3D Motion Reconstruction. In this paper, we present a novel approach to human body skeletal tracking from monolocular Human motion video sequences. We use the colour MSER region detectors to identify and track the location of hands, head

2D silhouette and 3D skeletal models for human detection and tracking

Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004. ICPR 2004., 2004
In this paper we propose a statistical model for detection and tracking of human silhouette and the corresponding 3D skeletal structure in gait sequences. We follow a point distribution model (PDM) approach using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

Tracking the motion of skeletal muscle with velocity‐encoded MR imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1994
AbstractPhase‐contrast magnetic resonance velocity‐encoding techniques were used to track two‐dimensional movement of skeletal muscle tissue. Axial and longitudinal planes in the forearms of five healthy volunteers were imaged during cyclic flexion and extension of the fingers, and the resulting data were used to plot the trajectories of the motion of ...

Somatosensory Application Study Based on Kinect Skeletal Tracking

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Gesture recognition is a kind of interaction of the natural user interface (Natural User Interface), which plays an important role in the application of the body-experience. In this paper, it uses Kinect sensor to track the 20 skeleton joint points of human body, and calculates the distances and angles between the nodes to determine the specific body ...

Skeletal muscle enzymes and fiber composition in male and female track athletes

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1976
Muscle samples were obtained from the gastrocnemius of 17 female and 23 male track athletes, 10 untrained women, and 11 untrained men. Portions of the specimen were analyzed for total phosphorylase, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities.

A STUDY OF THE ACCURACY OF CYBERKNIFE SPINAL RADIOSURGERY USING SKELETAL STRUCTURE TRACKING

Operative Neurosurgery, 2007
New technology has enabled the increasing use of radiosurgery to ablate spinal lesions. The first generation of the CyberKnife (Accuray, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) image-guided radiosurgery system required implanted radiopaque markers (fiducials) to localize spinal targets.

Real-Time Human Motion Detection, Tracking and Activity Recognition with Skeletal Model

2020 IEEE Conference on Computer Applications(ICCA), 2020
Human activity recognition with 3Dskeletal model has been attracted in a lot of application area. Representations of human based on 3D perception have been occurred prevalent problems in activity recognition. In recent work with RGB-Depth cameras, expensive wearable sensors and illuminator array have been used to construct the 3D human skeleton model ...

Gait Recognition for Saudi Costume Using Kinect Skeletal Tracking

2019 2nd International Conference on Computer Applications & Information Security (ICCAIS), 2019
Gait is a cutting-edge biometric for recognizing people. Gait data can be captured reliably even from long distances, and it is difficult to cover up or copy. In this paper, we have explored the use of Kinect for gait identification of Saudi persons who are wearing thobe or abaya. These garments hide most of the joints and so gait recognition becomes a

Inverse Kinematics Based Human Mimicking System using Skeletal Tracking Technology

Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2016
Humanoid robots needs to have human-like motions and appearance in order to be well-accepted by humans. Mimicking is a fast and user-friendly way to teach them human-like motions. However, direct assignment of observed human motions to robot's joints is not possible due to their physical differences.
