Some of our findings were quite different to those found in other studies, I came up with a plan to address it in my discussion. I will need to brainstorm potential explanations for the discrepancy.

# data[].attributes.body
wrote a brief plan incorporating points i have thought of myself and general topics ive seen in other studies

# data[].attributes.body
Looked at a bunch of the literature to decide what structure to use in my discussion, and potential talking points I could adapt.

Throughout the development of this project I have learnt a lot about how much effort goes into research. I feel this has aided my time management skills and also given me some experience in a quasi-professional environment of sports testing. In going through the entire history of motion analysis I have also gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the incremental technological development that have led to the incredibly accurate tools we use in testing today. I have overcome barriers to success by using feedback from my supervisor as encouragement to complete this project to the best of my ability.

Got feedback, it was all mostly ok just a few things to change.

in the text i dont need to specifically mention every single variable, only significant and important ones

# data[].attributes.body
decided on a research question of assessing the criterion validity of NSAtech against Xsens IMU system.

I think this leads off well from my literature review as there are no studies that i could find assessing NSAtech, although there are a few on OpenPose and some other pose estimation algorithms

# data[].attributes.body
Methods was mostly good, ground truth doesn't mean what i thought it does though so will change that.

# data[].attributes.body
Decided with Phil it would be best to do paired t-tests to find mean differences and it also outputs the pearsons correlation coefficient which is an indicator of validity. these values along with mean difference should be sufficient to assess criterion validity.

Had issues with the data for stopping distances resulting in a two week extension to allow for it to be fixed. Unfortunately i already had one for my finger :(

# data[].attributes.body
feedback was received on the lit review, phil agreed that i should look at involving the results from studies ive researched in the text. keep explanations of the technology concise, use them to provide a picture of the progression, not to deeply explain how each variable is recorded.

# data[].attributes.body
gotten quite indepth on the technologies behind the different motion analysis systems, need to double check with phil what im writing is still relevant and consider including some more results from studies to provide quantitative evidence for the points im making

# data[].attributes.body
after a chat with phil i redid my methods i think before i was missing alot of detail that was needed, and it could have been much more concise. it reads much better now and communicates the procedures of the experiment more clearly.

Decided to change my lit review to a chronological review of the advancements in the technology used for human motion analysis. My hope is to use this to show the gradual progression and explain how ai pose estimation is sort of a next step in motion analysis, by allowing for accurate analysis in ecologically valid environments

UG-PGT Ethics Panel Proforma_Phil G-S - accel-decel

# data[].attributes.body
had to get an extension due to a finger injury and difficulties in processing our results. new deadline: 16/5/25

# data[].attributes.body
We conducted the testing over a three week period, collecting data for five subjects each week, first the cybex then the accel-decel trials the next day.

# data[].attributes.body
We used these sessions to familiarise ourselves with the instruments we would be using for our study. Phil walked us through the post trial data processing on NSATech, and we learnt how the cybex machine was set up, aswell as testing the IMU suit. This was very helpful as it made it easier to explain the protocol to the participants i recruited, aswell as providing a clear picture for me to produce my methodology

# data[].attributes.body
Our ethics were approved over the christmas break, following this we completed our participant information sheets and began our ethos applications. We also set dates for testing in Platt Lane and at the IOS.

# data[].attributes.body
The ethics proforma was submitted for review. While waiting for approval we created a participant information sheet and consent form referring to the information from the ethics submission.

# data[].attributes.body
Had a meeting with Phil to decide the scope and nature of my project; we decided I would be validating a novel pose estimation algorithm against an xsens inertial measurement unit.

# data[].attributes.body
We were asked to have a think over summer about potential technologies that could be used to measure deceleration ability to follow up on our project proposals in L5

# data[].attributes.body
We discussed the starting points of the project, specifying the technology we would be using to measure our variables.
