AI-Enhanced Prediction of Peak Rate of Torque Development from Accelerometer Signals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores the use of accelerometer signals as the predictors of Rate of Torque Development (RTD) using an artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. Sixteen physically active men participated (29 ± 5 years), performing explosive isometric contractions while acceleration (ACC) signals were measured. The dataset, comprising ACC signals and corresponding RTD values, was split into training and testing (70–30%) sets for ANN training. The trained model predicted the peak RTD values from the ACC signal inputs. The measured and predicted peak RTD values were compared, with no significant differences observed (p = 0.852). A strong linear fit (R² = 0.81), ICC = 0.94 (p < 0.001), and a mean bias of 30.8 Nm/s demonstrated almost perfect agreement between measures. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using accelerometer data to predict peak RTD, offering a portable and cost-effective method compared to traditional equipment. The ANN prediction model provides a reliable means of estimating RTD from ACC signals, potentially enhancing accessibility to RTD assessment in sports and rehabilitation settings. The findings support the use of ANN models for predicting RTD, highlighting the potential of AI in developing performance analysis tools.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
