This work tackles the problem of automatically reconstructing the 3D pose of a person, in particular a football player, from multiple images taken from uncalibrated affine cameras. We adopt a bottom up approach, summarized as, localize the skeletal 2D joints in each image independently and then perform factorization with limb length constraints to estimate the 3D pose. The joint localization ta...

OBJECTIVES Successes of the professional athlete as individuals and team, across codes of football are contingent upon performance measures. The aim of the study was to examine associations between comfort and performance. DESIGN Prospective measures of lower limb comfort and coach rating performance criterion.

This study explores the reasons behind existence of frequent mismatches between performance individuals in organisations and their salary, with a specific focus on contexts where actors or employees are highly visible representative organisations. We argue that two intangible assets – celebrity status might affect intensity link individual pay levels. Using panel data set professional footballe...

The current study aimed using a two-experiment musculoskeletal simulation-based approach, measuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) biomechanics, knee joint kinematics, and lower extremity loading to examine the effects of both prophylactic sleeve on (1) sport-specific change direction movement in female footballers (2) single leg landing male footballers. Experiment 1 examined 12 university f...

The risks and benefits of children and adolescents par‐ ticipating in elite sports have long been debated. Reports of growth retardation in elite gymnasts and degenerative joint disease in the elbows of young baseball players have caused anxiety among parents and sporting bodies. In contrast, Ericsson’s theory of deliberate practice dictates the need for high volumes of training at a young age ...
