Wearable sensors for sports biomechanics
Magneto-Inertial Measurement Units (MIMUs) have a huge capability to measure movement and the potential to influence the sport domain, by providing actionable insights to sport practitioners.
Their potential can be exploited: i. for sport performance characterization (technique analysis, activity classification, motor capacity and physical demands assessment); ii. in preventing, assessing and informing the recovery from sport-related injury and iii. supporting to athletes with disability for their classification and for equipment customization. Key factors for best practice and details on which sport assessments are more prone to negative effects of sensors limits and error sources will also be highlighted.

Valentina Camomilla has earned the M.S. degree in electronical engineering cum laude (2000) and a Ph.D. in Bioengineering (2004). She is currently Associate Professor at the University of Rome Foro Italico (Italy). Her research focuses on 1. increasing the resolution of human movement analysis, performed using stereophotogrammetry, addressing soft tissue artifacts and anatomical calibration approaches, 2. qualitative and quantitative technique and performance analysis in sports. Prof. Camomilla serves as board of directors of the 3-D Analysis of Human Movement Technical Group of the International Society of Biomechanics (2018-); she is Associate Editor for Journal of Biomechanics (2022-), Frontiers in Sports and Active Living (2019- ) and Sports Biomechanics (2019-). She co-authored 53 peer-reviewed publications and co-supervised 4 post-docs, 10 PhD candidates, and 50 M.Sc. student theses.
