Hand speed is particularly important in boxing both for protection against incoming blows and delivering blows. Sixteen amateur boxers (10 male, 6 female) with varying levels of experience from a boxing gym performed 20 jabs and 20 cross punches in air. The movement was recorded with a small wrist mounted accelerometer under the glove. The maximum velocity of each punch was determined from the RMS acceleration profile. The mean values of the jab maximal velocity was higher than the cross maximal velocity for 9 participants. The cross showed some dependence on reach (Spearman's correlation coefficient r = 0.57) and the jab dependence on experience (Spearman's correlation coefficient r = 0.56). The accelerometer technique has some promise for routine assessment of fist speed.
Abstract Classical ballet requires dancers to exercise significant muscle control and strength both while stationary and when moving. Following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, 8 male and 27 female dancers (aged 20.2 + 1.9 yr) in a full-time university undergraduate dance training program were asked to stand in first position for 10 seconds and then perform 10 repeats of a demi-plié exercise to a counted rhythm. Accelerometer records from the wrist, sacrum, knee and ankle were compared with the numerical scores from a professional dance instructor. The sacrum mounted sensor detected lateral tilts of the torso in dances with lower scores (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient r = -0.64, p < 0.005). The 5RMS6 acceleration amplitude of wrist mounted sensor was linearly correlated to the movement scores (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient r = 0.63, p < 0.005). The application of sacrum and wrist mounted sensors for biofeedback during dance training is a realistic, low cost option.
Der Behindertenspitzensport hat sich in den letzten Jahren – nicht nur leistungsmäßig – in hohem Maße weiterentwickelt. Öffentlichkeit und Medien widmen ihm größere Aufmerksamkeit und bringen den Athleten mehr Akzeptanz entgegen als in der Vergangenheit. Auch der werbliche Einsatz dieses Sportbereichs erfährt gute Bewertungen. Laut aktuellen Umfragen in der Bevölkerung lässt sich durch die Schaltung von Anzeigen mit behinderten Spitzenathleten das Unternehmensimage positiv beeinflussen.
Erst seit wenigen Jahren binden Unternehmen den Behindertenspitzensport in ihre Kommunikationsaktivitäten ein. Da die Anzahl der damit arbeitenden Firmen zudem gering ist, lagen bislang kaum Informationen und Erfahrungswerte vor, die anderen an einem Engagement in diesem Bereich Interessierten Orientierungshilfen bieten konnten.
