• Abstract: In the competitive realm of sports, optimal performance necessitates rigorous management of nutrition and physical conditioning. Specifically, in badminton, the agility and precision required make it an ideal candidate for motion analysis through video analytics. This study leverages advanced neural network methodologies to dissect video footage of badminton matches, aiming to extract detailed insights into player kinetics and biomechanics. Through the analysis of stroke mechanics, including hand-hip coordination, leg positioning, and the execution angles of strokes, the research aims to derive predictive models that can suggest improvements in stance, technique, and muscle orientation. These recommendations are designed to mitigate erroneous techniques, reduce the risk of joint fatigue, and enhance overall performance. Utilizing a vast array of data available online, this research correlates players' physical attributes with their in-game movements to identify muscle activation patterns during play. The goal is to offer personalized training and nutrition strategies that align with the specific biomechanical demands of badminton, thereby facilitating targeted performance enhancements.

  This research aims to advance sports analysis in badminton, systematically detecting hit-frames automatically from match videos using modern deep learning techniques. The data included in hit-frames can subsequently be utilized to synthesize players' strokes and on-court movement, as well as for other downstream applications such as analyzing training tasks and competition strategy. In the study, we achieved 99% accuracy on shot angle recognition for video trimming, over 92% accuracy for applying player keypoints sequences on shuttlecock flying direction prediction, and reported the evaluation results of rally-wise video trimming and hit-frame detection.

  We train teams of physically simulated humanoid avatars to play football in a realistic virtual environment. In a sequence of stages, players first learn to control a fully articulated body to perform realistic, human-like movements. They then acquire mid-level football skills such as dribbling and shooting. Finally, they develop awareness of others and play as a team, bridging the gap between low-level motor control at a timescale of milliseconds.
