The ability to detect, define, and classify Change of Direction (COD) movements during running plays a crucial role in sports science, as it has been widely used to assess athlete performance. Automating the process of COD classification during live games or training can provide real-time feedback.

We hypothesized that DL algorithms classify COD better than ML classification algorithms. Comparative analysis showed that the best-performing DL and ML models showed similar behavior. Similarly, the statistical analysis observed no significant difference. This emphasized the importance of accurate model selection.

摘要

The ability to detect, define, and classify Change of Direction (COD) movements during running plays a crucial role in sports science, as it has been widely used to assess athlete performance. Automating the process of COD classification during live games or training can provide real-time feedback. In this study, we evaluated Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models for the classification of COD using accelerometers and gyroscope sensor data, and speed data were calculated from the Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor data. We hypothesized that DL algorithms classify COD better than ML classification algorithms. Comparative analysis showed that the best-performing DL and ML models showed similar behavior. Similarly, the statistical analysis observed no significant difference. This emphasized the importance of accurate model selection.
