Abstract

Peak power in the countermovement jump is correlated with various measures of sports performance and can be used to monitor athlete training. The gold standard method for determining peak power uses force platforms, but they are unsuitable for field-based testing favoured by practitioners. Alternati...

The gold standard method for determining peak power uses force platforms, but they are unsuitable for field-based testing favoured by practitioners.

This thesis aims to develop a generalisable model for predicting peak power based on Functional Principal Component Analysis applied to body-worn accelerometer data.

They performed up to 16 countermovement jumps each, with and without arm swing, 696 jumps in total. Peak power criterion measures were obtained from force platforms, and characteristic features from accelerometer data were extracted from four sensors attached to the lower back, upper back and both shanks.

The investigation considered signal representation (resultant, triaxial or a suitable transform), preprocessing (smoothing, time window and curve registration), feature selection and data augmentation (signal rotations and SMOTER). A novel procedure optimised the model parameters based on Particle Swarm applied to a surrogate Gaussian Process model. Model selection and evaluation were based on nested cross validation (Monte Carlo design).
