We created a block system of swimmers’ sports training control. The block system includes the stages and the main components of management structure, where great attention is paid to information gathering concerning swimmers’ functional training taking into account their typology of bioenergetics. We studied the ratio of swimmers’ bioenergetics typology at the training stage according to the years of study. We estimated the level of functional state and swimmers’ organism reserve capacities depending on their bioenergetics type. Specially selected training means and methods for swimmers were used in accordance with their typology of bioenergetics and it provided their physical readiness improvement, characterizing the effectiveness of competitive activity. We received the results of swimmers’ functional state and reserve capacities of their organism, combined according to three types: aerobic, mixed and anaerobic.","PeriodicalId":266160,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123924003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this growth, there has been an increasing interest in cycling position. Trainers, athletes and bike vendors acknowledged this and started to perform bike fits. As these experts have different backgrounds and varying levels of expertise, it was hypothesised that this could have an influence on the outcome in terms of the advised position. In this research three cyclists were bike fitted by nine different bike fitting studios. It was hypothesised that, as different bike fitters use varying techniques and have different experience levels, the cyclist would be advised a different optimal position by these different bike fitters. The preconceived hypothesis was confirmed as the range of advised positions in both saddle height and setback was up to 3 cm. Data-driven bike fitting can help bring down these considerable differences amongst fitters and will be discussed in the last chapter.","PeriodicalId":266160,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116477329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Footwear customisation techniques aim to manufacture footwear that fits an individual’s foot geometric. Footwear that exactly fits a person’s foot geometric will provide more support and reduce impact when walking or when doing other activities. A customised shoe last is an important tool used by shoemakers in manufacturing customised shoes. Currently, most customised shoe lasts are made from the moulds of clients’ feet and all the measurements are done manually, which is a tedious and time-consuming process. This project aims to develop a novel MATLAB (2017) algorithm that will shorten the shoe last customization process and do so with higher accuracy. This MATLAB algorithm can reconstruct the foot model to smooth the surface texture and rearrange the three-dimensional (3D) model vertices for easier dimension calculations. It can also locate makers on first and fifth metatarsophalangeal joint automatically for more accurate shoe last design. The shoe last developed using the novel algorithm was used to create its equivalent negative moulds for the manufacturing of carbon fibre cycling shoes. The negative moulds were 3D printed and used to produce a prototype of cycling shoes. Future research needs to consider developing an automated algorithm to create negative moulds to speed up the cycling shoe manufacturing process.","PeriodicalId":266160,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131965702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elite female Australian Rules football drop punt kick characteristics were collected from 15 elite female participants for both the preferred and non-preferred legs. All participants undertook a 20-kick protocol captured by a 3-dimensional motion analysis camera system. Preferred leg kicks produced faster foot velocities prior to foot-ball contact, 18.0 ± 1.2 m.s-1 preferred, 16.2 ± 1.3 m.s-1 non-preferred, and faster ball velocities post foot-ball contact, 24.7 ± 1.4 m.s-1 preferred, 21.6 ± 2.0 m.s-1 non-preferred. Differences in movement patterns of the hip and knee joint segments were shown between kick leg preferences; hip angular velocity 94.4 ± 75.9 °/s preferred and 126.2 ± 66.3 °/s non-preferred, knee angular velocity 1384.8 ± 415.2 °/s preferred and 1013.6 ± 230.2 °/s non-preferred. Research results identified the changes in elite women’s drop punt kick mechanics in comparison to leg preference, which can be viewed against senior and junior men’s Australian football kick analysis findings. The current research information could be of benefit to practitioners in linking targeted field coaching cues and conditioning programs tailored to identified kick skill and movement deficiencies.","PeriodicalId":266160,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132932615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis results on the three sports networks are summarized as follows. The results are as follows. We find that basic movement sports such as gymnastics and fitness are important across the three countries. Also, Korea and the USA are found to focus more on a variety of sports than just covering basic sports. On the other hand, Japan tends to focus on basic sports.

Movement faults should be assessed specifically, therefore individual sport rehabilitation strategies can be implemented. Smart garments are efficient for upper body movement assessment. There is a lack of literature stating that smart textile garments are reliable and valid for shoulder gridle elevation. The purpose of the study was to examine reliability and validity of the DAid smart shirt during shoulder girdle elevation. Twenty-one female volunteers aged 24.3. (SD3.3), body mass index 19.3 (SD 0.5) were recruited. The DAid smart shirt and 2D movement video analysis software Quintic Biomechanics v26, UK were the assessment tools utilized. Cronbach alpha coefficient and Interclass Correlation Coefficient were calculated to assess the within-session test-retest reliability. Bland – Altman analysis was applied to determine validity. Results: reliability for the right side measures: Cronbach alpha coefficient α ≥ 0.9, ICC ≥ 0.9. Reliability for the left side measures: Cronbach alpha coefficient α ≥ 0.9, ICC ≥ 0.91.
