- Introduction of Bot Fit, a hip-joint exoskeleton for objective lower limb muscular strength and exercise performance assessment.
- Study involved 25 participants with baseline strength tests and resistance exercises under two conditions: 10-second unrestricted speed and 30-second constant speed.
- Data collected included motor signals, repetitions, and movement patterns, analyzed using correlation, hierarchical cluster, and regression analyses.
- Strong correlations found between lower limb strength and exercises like squats, knee-ups, and reverse lunges, especially in short-duration and constant-speed tests.
- Hierarchical cluster analysis achieved 0.89 accuracy in grouping participants based on exercise metrics, while regression model showed a 0.86 correlation coefficient.
- Bot Fit offers a reliable, data-driven method for strength assessment, aiding in exercise optimization, injury prevention, and performance enhancement in sports science and rehabilitation.
