Abstract

When exercising, physical injury is almost inevitable. Although there is a multitude of practices to avoid injury, a large portion of luck is required to minimize injury proneness. In this paper, with the aid of a public dataset gait kinetics and kinematics, flexibility and strength are tested against the Boolean value of injury to conduct a linear binary regression model.
