A Fuzzy Qualitative Framework for Indoor Rowing Kinematics Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article an outline of a fuzzy qualitative framework for the indoor rowing kinematics analysis have been proposed. Main goal of introducing this fuzzy qualitative framework is to bridge the gap between high level of quantitative details obtained with various present – day sensory or video inputs and symbolic representation used by rowing experts. A Fuzzy qualification process of kinematic parameters is done on the basis of previously collected quantitative data and with possession of prior contextual knowledge for their qualification by rowing experts. Quantitative data acquisition is included indoor rowing kinematics recording by video motion tracking system. Generalizations of the proposed method on kinematics analysis of a common indoor human motion, problems of symbolic representation, as well as guidelines for method improvement are briefly discussed. Key-Words: fuzzy qualitative analysis, indoor rowing, quantitative analysis, fuzzification, human motion

Modelling and Control of FES-Assisted Indoor Rowing Exercise
This paper presents the development of a model of indoor rowing exercise for paraplegics. Indoor rowing exercise is introduced as a hybrid exercise for restoration of function of lower extremities for paraplegics through the application of functional electrical stimulation (FES). Two stimulated muscle models, quadriceps and hamstrings, are developed for knee extension and flexion. A fuzzy logic...
متن کاملTextured insoles affect the plantar pressure distribution while elite rowers perform on an indoor rowing machine
INTRODUCTION During rowing, foot positioning on the foot stretcher is critical to optimise muscle force transmission and boat propulsion. Following the beneficial effects of textured insoles on gait and balance, this study aims at investigating whether passive stimulation of foot mechanoreceptors induced by these insoles may contribute to improving foot loading pattern and symmetry during indoo...
متن کاملInclined Ergometer to Enhance FES-Assisted Indoor Rowing Exercise Performance
Improving the FES-assisted indoor rowing exercise (FES-rowing) performance enables the spinal cord injury (SCI) people to perform hybrid FES-exercise in a higher level of intensity. High level of exercise volume and intensity can play a big role in prevention of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity which is a significant threat to the health of people with chronic SCI. FES-rowing...
متن کاملA comparison of kinematics and performance measures of two rowing ergometers.
Rowing injuries have been attributed to poor technique, suggesting a need to understand the mechanics of rowing and the influence on technique of different training regimes and ergometers. The aims of this study were to investigate the repeatability of the kinematics of the lumbopelvic region during rowing and to compare these kinematics between rowing on two different ergometers. An electromag...
متن کاملChanges in rowing technique over a routine one hour low intensity high volume training session.
High volume low intensity training sessions such as one hour rowing ergometer sessions are frequently used to improve the fitness of elite rowers. Early work has suggested that technique may decline over this time period. This study sought to test the hypothesis that "elite rowers can maintain technique over a one hour rowing ergometer session". An electromagnetic device, in conjunction with a ...
