You are invited to participate in a huge data collection study in the realm of weight lifting. In this study you will perform 4 sets of each bench press, squats and deadlifts. In each set you will perform up to 40 repetitions (as many as possible). You can freely choose your weight. No expertise is needed. You can either be someone who never performed those exercises or are a complete professional in them. After the total of 12 sets, there will be a very small questionnaire. Furthermore, your body part lengths will be measured by the male experimenter. This includes upper body, lower body, upper arms, forearms, thighs and lower legs. All exercises will be recorded by two different cameras. Additionally your movement data will be recorded by a smart watch attached to your right wrist.
Except for comfortable (sports) clothes and shoes you do not need to bring any other things. We will provide the equipment as well as enough water.
As long as you are not physically injured and above the age of 18 you are invited to join our study!
Your participation will help form a huge data set of movement data for the exercises of bench press, deadlifts and squats. With this data, future researchers can work on automatic exercise execution recognition systems or AI strength sport assistants/trainers.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. You may withdraw from your participation at any time without further consequences and without giving any reason. Your personal data will be treated confidentially at all times and will only be published and analyzed in anonymized form. Your face in the videos can be covered and pixelated if you like.
During participation, you may experience injuries due to exercising. If you experience pain during the experiment, please do not hesitate to stop. For your completed participation in the experiment you will receive a 20€ voucher (Wunschgutschein). The voucher will be given to you immediately after successfully completing the study. The details of this will be explained to you right before the study from the experimental lead. If the experiment cannot be completed, there will be no financial reward. Water will be provided from the experimenter.
The data collected in this study will be made public at a specific point. This includes the video data, imu data and personal data just as body part length, height and experience in the corresponding strength exercises. Faces in the video data can be pixelated. Data such as names will also not be published.
