Concurrent validity of IMU and phone-based markerless systems for lower-limb kinematics during cognitively-challenging landing tasks Open
Alternative technologies, such as IMU and low-cost markerless systems, may overcome the drawbacks of optoelectronic marker-based motion capture systems (OMS) in sports non-contact injury risk screening, but the precision of collected kinem…

The role of age and maturation on jump performance and postural control in female adolescent volleyball players over a season Open
The results emphasize the specific influence of biological maturation on power and force production during vertical jumps, while other specific plyometric and postural control adaptations seem to be less sensitive to chronological age and …

Three-Dimensional Facial Anthropometric Analysis With and Without Landmark Labelling: Is There a Real Difference? Open
Introduction: The actual role of landmarks labeling before three-dimensional (3D) facial acquisition is still debated. In this study, several measurements were compared among textured labeled (TL), unlabeled (NL), and untextured (NTL) 3D f…
