Researchers have developed a markerless pose estimation framework to assess resistance training techniques using ordinary video footage. The system, which utilizes BlazePose to extract anatomical landmarks, converts these into joint-angle trajectories for exercises like squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. This method allows for quantitative comparison of repetitions and identification of technique variability, offering a more accessible alternative to laboratory-based movement analysis, though its accuracy is influenced by camera orientation and visual occlusion.
