The presentations demonstrate the potential for analyzing running dynamics, in this case changes in vertical oscillations (VO), by tracking a moving marker in a selected area of the video. In the source material from which the video fragments were taken, a green horizontal line is visible in the upper left corner of the frame. The line moves up and down with the runner, illustrating their vertical oscillations. The green marker changes position, reaching a maximum of 8 cm and a minimum of 0 cm. Using this information and specifying the analysis area, green hue, saturation, and brightness ranges, the AI wrote a simple algorithm to determine the marker’s instantaneous position. It then scaled the position in centimeters and plotted it on the video freeze frames. The final result provides satisfactory accuracy in representing the changes in the green marker’s position.
