A kitesurfer riding the wave: neural net estimating body position despite highly dynamical environment. How’s that possible? Read on

Human motion is the subject of kinesiology and biomechanics, sciences that study mechanical aspects of human body movement (Figure 5-1), using many classical mechanics principles, such as kinematics and kinetics, which we covered in Chapter 2 when discussing physics of sports. In biomechanical analysis, ...
