Methods for imbalanced data in sports analytics: improving injury prediction models
… Sports injuries are a central concern because an injury can permanently derail an athlete’s career. Yet even with extensive daily training records, injuries remain rare events, and many existing injury prediction models struggle to identify injury cases accurately. This research evaluates both …

Injury prediction in Division I college football players using a modified lower extremity version of the FMS
… and prevention could help to reduce these injury rates. Therefore, the development of clinical prediction tools incorporated in a pre-participation exam that could help in identifying athletes who are at risk for lower extremity injuries is vitally important. One of these examination tools …

Predicting Occupant Injury with Vehicle-Based Injury Criteria in Roadside Crashes
… effort aimed at improving the current occupant injury criteria typically used to assess occupant injury risk in crashes involving roadside hardware such as guardrail. These metrics attempt to derive the risk of injury based solely on the response of the vehicle during a collision event. The …

The Effects of Freezing on the Mechanical Properties of Articular Cartilage
… of articular cartilage. Preventing cartilage injury is important in minimizing the long term debilitating effects of osteoarthritis. Accurate subfracture injury prediction must take into account the possible effects that freeze thaw cycles may have on the mechanical properties of cartilage …

Protection of Rear Seat Occupants Using Finite Element Analysis
… in the rear seats, and therefore sustaining injury, could increase dramatically. In this dissertation, rear seats of a range of current vehicles were reconstructed to examine injury risk with the finite element models of two anthropomorphic test devices. These models showed a wide range of …

Applications of Event Data Recorder Derived Crash Severity Metrics to Injury Prevention
… barrier tests, the assessment of occupant injury risk is crucial, as the purpose of the hardware is to prevent the vehicle from colliding with a more detrimental roadside object, all the while minimizing, and not posing additional, risk to the occupants. Unlike the new vehicle regulatory …

Using a Single inertial measurement unit to measure the knee flexion angle at touchdown in side cutting movements
Joint angles can be an important measure in investigating sport-related injuries as well as in rehabilitation studies. Even though previous researchers have investigated using inertial measurement units to calculate joint angles, only a few studies can be found that were conducted using a single …
