Dear Gaël,
the aim of your project sounds very interesting. I am also using (developping) accelerometry-based methods to analyze sport specific movements (mainly sprinting and jumping). But we are also into some projects with elite female handball players. Have you so far special ideas which accelerometers or which methods you want to use? Would be interesting to change some ideas or collaborate in any way.
Best wishes Marcus
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your interest. We used very common commercialized accelerometers during international competitions. Using an in-series force-plate system, we observed an overestimation of the player load index determined with software-based method applied to various exercises (including sprinting and jumping, attached abstract @ISBS). Therefore we developped a specific calculation method (validation in progress).
Whatever the method, the main problem in handall will be the contact phases which cannot be reliably explored using accelerometry. We recently discussed with Mat Spencer (Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Oslo), who achieved an extensive and really impressive work on this topic.
In this view, sprinting and jumping will be more easy motor tasks to investigate. :)
Best wishes in your projects,
Gaël
