Abstract

Competitive sports require rapid and intense movements, such as jump landings, making athletes susceptible to injuries due to altered neuromuscular control and joint mechanics. Biomechanical features during landings are associated with injury risk, emphasizing proper movement and postural stability. Computer vision techniques offer a time-efficient, noninvasive, and unbiased method to assess jump-landings and identify injury risks. This study proposes a video analysis framework to evaluate jump landing biomechanics in athletes to determine irregular movements and incorrect postures. It provides advice and recommendations to coaches for injury prediction and training improvements. The proposed framework is tested using countermovement jump videos of 17 NCAA Division I female basketball athletes. The results indicated a low Mean Absolute Error (0.97), high correlation (0.89), high average accuracy (98.31%) and F1 score (0.98), signifying the framework's reliability in identifying injury risk.
