Deep Learning-Based Body Shape Clustering Analysis Using 3D Body Scanner: Application of Transformer Algorithm.

Background: This study was conducted to perform deep learning-based body shape cluster analysis using 3D Body Scanner.

Methods: For this study, 54 variables were measured using 3D Body Scanner on 366 adult men and women at Korea National Sport University in 2022. Transformer learning and dimensionality reduction models were used to perform cluster analysis on the measured data.

A Validation Study of a Deep Learning-Based Doping Drug Text Recognition System to Ensure Safe Drug Use among Athletes.

This study aimed to develop an English version of a doping drug-recognition system using deep learning-based optical character recognition (OCR) technology. A database of 336 banned substances was built based on the World Anti-Doping Agency's International Standard Prohibited List and the Korean Pharmaceutical Information Center's Drug Substance Information. For accuracy and validity analysis, 886 drug substance images, including 152 images of prescriptions and drug substance labels collected using data augmentation, were used.

Machine learning-based obesity classification considering 3D body scanner measurements.

Obesity can cause various diseases and is a serious health concern. BMI, which is currently the popular measure for judging obesity, does not accurately classify obesity; it reflects the height and weight but ignores the characteristics of an individual's body type. In order to overcome the limitations of classifying obesity using BMI, we considered 3-dimensional (3D) measurements of the human body.

The effects of fluid absorption and plasma volume changes in athletes following consumption of various beverages.

Background: To verify the hydration effects of oral rehydration solution (ORS) on athletes by comparing the degrees of fluid absorption and plasma volume changes following beverage consumption, including ORS.

Methods: Thirty-one participants visited the testing laboratory 4 times at 1-week intervals to consume 1 L of beverage (e.g.
