With 18 months of IMU sensor use, the Human Performance Center at the University of Memphis Athletics will share their applied experiences in the application, strengths, and limitations of the sensors in a multi-sport setting.
The presentation shares insights from completed projects across the Division 1 campus, with key practical lessons based on the experiences of coaches, strength staff, athletic trainers, and sports scientists.
Our aim is to provide details of our practical use of the sensors to spur ideas and insights from the listeners, to help you answer your own applied challenges.
As our projects originated from a variety of settings, posed by different sports and different experts, the presentation should hold useful and actionable information ready for interpretation in your own context.
Including stories from load monitoring in soccer and tennis, athlete screening in basketball, athlete rehabilitation in football, and technique change in softball and cross country, the simple and straightforward interpretation of data and use of the sensors in practical settings will stimulate ideas and discussion. The presentation will include a ‘Question and Answer’ component to encourage understanding and elaboration on key topics.
