Location Matters-Can a Smart Golf Club Detect Where the Club Face Hits the Ball?

In golf, the location of the impact, where the clubhead hits the ball, is of imperative nature for a successful ballflight. Direct feedback to the athlete where he/she hits the ball could improve a practice session. Currently, this information can be measured via, e.

Catch Recognition in Automated American Football Training Using Machine Learning.

In order to train receivers in American football in a targeted and individual manner, the strengths and weaknesses of the athletes must be evaluated precisely. As human resources are limited, it is beneficial to do it in an automated way. Automated passing machines are already given, therefore the motivation is to design a computer-based system that records and automatically evaluates the athlete's catch attempts.

Cadence Detection in Road Cycling Using Saddle Tube Motion and Machine Learning.

Most commercial cadence-measurement systems in road cycling are strictly limited in their function to the measurement of cadence. Other relevant signals, such as roll angle, inclination or a round kick evaluation, cannot be measured with them. This work proposes an alternative cadence-measurement system with less of the mentioned restrictions, without the need for distinct cadence-measurement apparatus attached to the pedal and shaft of the road bicycle.

Classification of Tennis Shots with a Neural Network Approach.

Data analysis plays an increasingly valuable role in sports. The better the data that is analysed, the more concise training methods that can be chosen. Several solutions already exist for this purpose in the tennis industry; however, none of them combine data generation with a wristband and classification with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).

Using Wearable Sensors and a Convolutional Neural Network for Catch Detection in American Football.

Highly efficient training is a must in professional sports. Presently, this means doing exercises in high number and quality with some sort of data logging. In American football many things are logged, but there is no wearable sensor that logs a catch or a drop.
