Standing-start biomechanics in elite track cycling:inertial launch dynamics at the 2022 UCI World Championships

Title: Standing-start biomechanics in elite track cycling: inertial launch dynamics at the 2022 UCI World Championships – Dataset Description: This dataset contains observational data from standing-start performances in elite track cycling at the 2022 UCI World Championships. It includes datas extracted from 240 Hz video recordings and markerless neural network-derived center-of-mass (CoM) kinematics for 10 elite starts (6 men’s and 2 women’s team sprints; 2 men’s team pursuits). The dataset features: 2D CoM trajectories. CoM Velocities These data enable analysis of biomechanical strategies used to maximize initial acceleration. Keywords: Biomechanics, track cycling, standing start, center-of-mass dynamics, markerless pose estimation, UCI World Championships 2022. Authors: S. Giraud, Q. Rousseau, R. Carmigniani, I.
