Towards an Automated Weight Lifting Coach: Introducing LIFT
… is a well-known visual tool to help diagnose weightlifting technique deficiencies, but requires a camera pointed at the athlete that is integrated with motion-tracking software. This camera set up is not available at most gyms, so this motivates the use of a small, unobtrusive sensor to obtain …

Investigating a non-invasive method for determining muscle fiber composition
… with curves obtained experimentally from weightlifting trials. Longer lifts with slower peak velocities indicate higher ratios of slow-twitch fibers, and shorter lifts with greater peak velocities indicate higher ratios of fast-twitch fibers. This idea is supported by both the model …
