Personalizing running training with immersive technologies using a multimodal framework

Personalizing running training with immersive technologies using a multimodal framework

Journal, New Pub
To improve performance and prevent injuries, running training needs proper personalized supervision and planning. This study examines the factors that influence running training programs, and the benefits and challenges of personalized plans. It also investigates how multimodal, immersive and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can improve personalized training. We did an exploratory sequential mixed research with running coaches. We analyzed the data and found relevant factors of the training process. We recognized four key aspects for running training: physical, technical, mental and body awareness. We used these aspects to create a framework that proposes multimodal, immersive and AI technologies to help personalized running training. It also lets coaches guide their athletes on each aspect personally. The framework aims to personalize the training by showing how coaches and multimodal learning experience agents…

MILKI-PSY Consortial Meeting in Berlin

MILKI-PSY Consortial Meeting in Berlin

Project meeting
The fourth face-to-face meeting of the MILKI-PSY research consortium took place on July 12 and 13, 2023 at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence in Berlin. The DIPF members: Dr Daniele Di Mitri, Dr Jan Schneider, Gianluca Romano and Fernando P. Cardenas-Hernandez shared their progress on how to address the technical and mental aspects of athletes' learning process through technologies such as Inertial-Measurement-Unit-sensors and Virtual-Reality-headsets. In the same context, they also exchanged ideas with the other project partners, led by Prof. Dr. Roland Klemke of the Cologne Game Lab of TH Cologne, on how to create, integrate and evaluate a common psychomotor training environment and plan future studies in this field.

New Pub: Considerations in Feedback and Periodization for the Multimodal Learning Experience of Running via Wearable Devices

New Pub: Considerations in Feedback and Periodization for the Multimodal Learning Experience of Running via Wearable Devices

Workshop
On September 13, during the MILeS 2022 – Multimodal Immersive Learning Systems workshop that took place at EC-TEL 2022 conference in Toulouse, France, the paper entitled Considerations in Feedback and Periodization for the Multimodal Learning Experience of Running via Wearable Devices was presented. This paper, which will appear in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings, was written by Fernando P. Cardenas-Hernandez, and Jan Schneider. Abstract. For the integral learning/training of a psychomotor activity such as running, it is necessary to target not only the physical aspects but also the technical and mental aspects that make it up, an alternative to solve this issue is through the understanding and consideration of feedback and periodization, which are elements that constitute and influence transcendentally and differently each of the three aspects involved. That is why,…

Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Event, Multimodal Learning Analytics, Project, Research topic, Summer School, Workshop
From May 21 to 28, the 16th version of the EATEL Summer School on Technology-Enhanced Learning (JTELSS 2022) was held in the city of Halkidiki, Greece, whose purpose is to promote the dissemination of research in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning and encourage international cooperation between researchers, students and people interested in this topic. As members of the MILKI-PSY project, Dr. Daniele Di Mitri, Fernando P. Cardenas Hernandez, Gianluca Romano and Dr. Jan Schneider attended JTELSS 2022. Additionally, Fernando P. Cardenas Hernandez and Gianluca Romano, as active participants in the summer school, presented the workshop entitled "Learning Psychomotor Skills with AI & AR/VR considering Technical and Mental Aspects". This workshop started with a theoretical introduction given by both exponents where the participants were able to identify some of the…
