Abstract:
This study utilises low-cost 2D pose tracking to analyse individual technique differences in elite rowers. We established key biomechanical metrics, revealing variations linked to anthropometrics, training style and flexibility. A technique mapping tool was developed, providing objective insights that supplemented expert opinion. A pilot demonstrated the utility of this analysis to generate actionable insights for equipment personalisation. This showcases that low-cost automated methods can provide proactive and meaningful insights suitable for individualized training strategies.
