UNRAVEL THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LOWER
LIMB INJURIES AND THE BIOMECHANICS OF

RUNNING THROUGH MOTIONMETRIX AND

MACHINE LEARNING

ABSTRACT

RESEARCH BACKGROUND
This research project aims to explore the connection between lower limb injuries and
the biomechanics of running using MotionMetrix technology and machine learning.
Understanding the relationship between biomechanics and running-related injuries is
crucial for injury prevention and performance enhancement. WONG CHI YUEN

METHODOLOGY

This study proposes the use of cutting-edge MotionMetrix technology, which offers BSocSc (Hons) in Sports and
