Researchers have developed a markerless pose estimation framework to assess resistance training techniques using ordinary video footage. This system extracts anatomical landmarks from exercises like squats, bench presses, and deadlifts, converting them into joint-angle trajectories. The framework demonstrated its ability to capture meaningful kinematic patterns for squats and deadlifts, allowing for quantitative comparison of repetitions and identification of technique variability. However, the accuracy of the 2D joint-angle estimates was found to be highly dependent on camera orientation and visual occlusion. AI
