| description | Identifying the key points of a movement performed by an expert is required for beginners who want to acquire a motor skill. By repeating a learning cycle, the beginner tries the movement, focusing on the key points. We can find many guiding methods for adopting motor skills in the fields of coaching and training for sports. However, the methods strongly depend on the experience of trainers and coaches, who need to select the appropriate methods for different types of athletes. Although methods based on objective information obtained from videos and sensors applicable to individual movements have been proposed in order to overcome the subjectivity of these approaches, we cannot apply those to movements that include external factors, such as pushing and/or attacks from an opponent, as seen in combat sports. Furthermore, such sports require fast feedback of the analysis to the athletes in order to find the key factors of offensive/defensive techniques at the training site. Focusing on judo throwing techniques, this paper proposes a novel real-time prediction method called RT-XSM (Real-Time Extraction method for Successful Movements) that predicts which throwing technique is most likely to be successful based on Kumite posture just before the throw. The RT-XSM uses logistic regression to analyze datasets consisting of the factors of Kumite posture (a standing posture when both players grip each other) and throwing technique classification. To validate the proposed method, this paper also demonstrates experiments of the RT-XSM using datasets acquired from video scenes of the World Judo Championships. |
