Fifty mixed-ability runners (25 men and 25 women) ran on a treadmill at a range of speeds and gradients. Their data was used to train Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models in a supervised fashion. Estimation accuracy was evaluated by comparing model outputs against the criterion signals, calculated from marker-based kinematics and instrumented treadmill kinetics via inverse dynamics. The model that utilised data from all sensor locations achieved the lowest estimation error with a mean relative Root Mean Squared Error (rRMSE) of 12.1%, 9.0%, and 6.7% at the hip, knee, and ankle, respectively. Reducing data input to fewer sensors did not greatly compromise estimation accuracy. For example, a wrist-foot sensor combination only increased estimation error by 0.8% at the hip, and 1.0% at the knee and ankle joints.

Forty collegiate Taekwondo Poomsae athletes performed SKs with both legs. Two models were developed: a kinematic model incorporating SK and pelvic tilt angles at face and maximal heights, and a physical function model including range of motion measurements and Y-balance test scores. Performance quality was assessed by an expert evaluator using standardised criteria. Five ML algorithms were tested, and their performance was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC) analysis. Random forest classifiers demonstrated excellent performance in both models (kinematic model: AUC = 0.930, accuracy = 89.3%; physical function model: AUC = 0.930, accuracy = 89.3%). In the kinematic model, SK angle at maximal height emerged as the strongest predictor. For the physical function model, Y-balance test composite score showed the largest impact. These findings represent a substantial improvement over conventional subjective assessment methods by providing quantifiable, objective classification with high accuracy.
