Markerless Pose Estimation and Explainable Machine Learning for Assessing Kicking Technique and Shooting Performance in Youth Football Players
Markerless pose estimation offers a practical route to field-based biomechanical assessment, but its ability to predict distinct dimensions of football kicking performance remains uncertain. This study evaluated 60 youth football players (48 male, 12 female; age 16.35 ± 1.19 years, range 14.31–18.28) from Romanian yout...
