Integral Kinematics: Training Muscle Control and Performance
2017
Traditionally, people have measured athletic and physical performance based on derivatives, or rates of change. For example, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and power is the rate of change of energy. All of these metrics quantify sudden burst, but few measure another key component of performance: control. This project introduce a new way to evaluate performance: by measuring control via the converse of a derivative, the integral. Professor Mann, the mentor in this project, derived a novel metric from integral kinematics, called absement, which determines how long one can maintain a certain displacement. This research project aims to invent training mechanisms that measure athletes’ absement outputs and challenges athletes to optimize body control.
