Question 1

What are 4 reasons for biomechanical analysis?

Answer 1

1. Understand a skill better
2. Assess performance or injury risk
3. Effects of training
4. Specificity of training

Question 2

What is pose detection?

Answer 2

Similar to facial recognition, detects key points from images of humans.
