SonicSeat: a seat position tracker based on ultrasonic sound measurements for rowing technique analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A significant share of rowers does not have access to professional supervision by coaches. However, proper technique is a key component for both success in competitions and to prevent injuries or long-term induced postural deformity. In cooperation with national rowing coaches we developed a sensor system to continuously monitor the rower's seat position. It allows offline data analysis and complements existing state-of-the art methods to analyze rowing technique based on video footage. Both quantitative analyses for coaches as well as qualitative and visual feedback for athletes are provided. We tested our system on the water and present exemplary data and analyses.

The Ability of Ultrasonic Characterization to Extract the Dose Distribution of MAGIC-f Polymer Gel
Background & Aims: Today, different imaging techniques have been studied in the reading of radiationsensitive polymer gels dosage. Due to limitations of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), ultrasound techniques are proposed for dose-dependent parameter extraction. In this study, using MAGIC-f (methacrylic and ascorbic acid in gelatin initiat...

متن کاملAn analysis of performance in long-distance rowing by means of global positioning system technology
The analysis of sports performance by means of technological advances has often been used to calculate the routes of sportsmen in the distances covered, or to calculate speed in orienteering. However, there is still little information on data for Global Position System (GPS) use in long-distance elite rowers. The purpose of this study was to analyze rowers’ performance in a long distance fixed-...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of an ultrasonic thermoacoustic generator using metal nanocoatings (Research Article)
In this paper, we design, simulate, and build an ultrasonic heat generator. In thermoacoustics, heat generated by the passage of alternating current through a thin conductor produces a sound wave. In this method, unlike other methods of sound production, moving parts are not used to vibrate air molecules, and as a result, the frequency response of these generators is flatter than other sound ge...
