𝗤: What do these dots say about this lift?

𝗗𝗼𝘁𝘀: Blue = your body’s center. Yellow = hips. Dashed line = where that center lands on the feet.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀: Bar close to the line = balanced. Arms straight helps the shoulders stay steady. Legs and hips do most of the work. Do you agree?

𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀: Center too far back → shoulder or low back gripes. Too far forward → wrist, elbow, or knee gripes. Knees caving → knee or groin gripes.

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆: Film from the side and front. Keep the line over midfoot. Start light, slow the reps, add weight only when the bar and dots stay stacked.

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸: Bar over midfoot, feet quiet, knees track toes, chest tall, arms straight.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 (if you got a film): Pause a rep. Is the blue dot over midfoot, and what aches first when it isn’t?

Would you analyze your movement, or your client’s, this way?

In gait science, we call that moment 𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 or 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲, a small event, but a powerful one.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, researchers rely on force plates, sensors, or detailed video analysis to detect it. But what if we could do it automatically, from a simple video?

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗜𝗤™ — making gait events visible, measurable, and useful. From heel strike to foot off, each step tells a story about movement, health, and performance.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗽 shows how we start from raw video, interpret leg motion, and link it to a clear signal of heel strike. The goal is simple: 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 — clinicians, physios, coaches, athletes, and everyday movers.

What if we could understand our mental resilience like an engineer looks at a building’s strength?

That’s the idea behind the Mental Safety Factor (mSF) — a fresh, science-backed way to measure how well we’re coping with life’s stress.

⚙️ What is mSF?

In engineering, safety factor = strength ÷ stress.

In mental health, mSF = coping capacity ÷ mental load.

• If mSF > 1: You're coping well.

• If mSF < 1: You may be at risk of burnout or breakdown.

This gives us a visual and measurable way to track how close we are to our limits — and when we need to rest, reset, or get support.

📊 How Can We Measure It?

We can estimate coping capacity and mental load using:

• 💓 Heart rate variability (HRV)

• 🧠 Brain activity (EEG)

• 😓 Stress or mood logs

• 💬 Self-report tools

With wearables and simple digital tools, we could even track mSF in real time — just like a dashboard for your mental load!

🧩 Why It Matters

This model helps with:

• Burnout prevention at work

• Real-time mental health monitoring

• Coaching and training performance

• Personalized self-care

It’s all about staying strong without pushing too far.

Trying to lose weight and constantly battling hunger and cravings? It's not just about willpower! AI Experts explain that factors like hormones, stress, sleep, and the foods we eat play a significant role. Understanding these can help you manage your appetite naturally.

Here are some key takeaways from the interview:

• Protein and Fiber are your allies: Protein helps you feel full longer by reducing the hunger hormone ghrelin, while fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. Practical tip: Include lean meats, beans, or yogurt for protein and add veggies, fruits, or whole grains for fiber.

• Don't fear healthy fats: Healthy fats slow down digestion and regulate blood sugar, helping you feel full and satisfied. Good sources include avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

• Hydration is key: Thirst can often be mistaken for hunger. Drinking water before snacking can help determine if you're truly hungry. Staying hydrated also supports metabolism.

• Practice mindful eating: Even small steps can make a difference. Focus on flavors, textures, and how you feel during one meal a day. Slow down, chew thoroughly, and avoid distractions.

• Handle cravings with balance: Instead of completely cutting out treats, enjoy them in moderation. Smaller portions or healthier alternatives like dark chocolate or fruit can help.

Explore a fun and engaging AI-powered game by PoseIQ! Perfect for kids at home or in childcare, follow the steps below to enjoy learning with dots and creativity. 👇👇👇

Try it now!  👇👇👇

Let's say you have a picture, and you need to put dots on parts like the shoulders, elbows, and knees. Doing it yourself for just one picture might take a while. Now imagine having to do this for every picture in a whole video – it would take a really, really long time!

But with tools like Mediapipe, an AI program, we can teach computers to put these dots on each body part super quickly. Once trained, it can mark every frame in a video at lightning speed, doing something in seconds that would take us hours. This way, we can watch and track movements right as they happen!

Try it now! 

Creating an interactive pose game for young children is a fantastic way to combine fun, physical activity, and early engagement with technology. For three-year-olds, a game focused on simple movements—like “Arms Up!”, “Touch Toes,” and “Wave Hands”—is perfectly age-appropriate, providing clear instructions while encouraging them to move. Adding a playful element, such as a clapping emoji that appears randomly on the screen, makes the experience even more engaging and enjoyable.

While there’s often concern around screen time for young kids, games like this can be a healthy introduction to technology. The focus here is on movement and fun rather than passive watching, making it an active learning tool. Kids can learn to associate technology with creativity and interaction rather than purely entertainment.

As for AI, introducing it in small, playful ways can be beneficial. While the current game may not deeply involve AI, you’re setting a foundation by showing how technology can respond to their movements and actions. Over time, as they grow, kids can gradually learn that they, too, can create and customize experiences. Early exposure to simple, interactive tech like this could eventually help them approach AI with curiosity rather than hesitation.

Should we keep young kids away from AI altogether? Not necessarily! Instead, introducing it through simple, controlled, and active experiences—like this pose game—can help them see technology as a tool for creativity and learning.

Wanna play? Try this simple game with your toddler at home using just one camera or even your smartphone: Link. 

Use AI pose detection to refine martial arts techniques by analyzing joint angles, foot positioning, and alignment. This tool helps correct posture, improve movements, and reduce injury risks, making each session more effective. Try it out with AI Human Pose Detection for real-time feedback.

I recently came across a systematic review on ACL injury risks in female athletes, and it provides some critical findings for anyone interested in sports science or injury prevention. Here are the highlights:

🏃‍♀️ Biomechanics & Maturation The review revealed that post-pubertal female athletes experience a higher peak knee abduction angle and knee abduction moments, both of which are associated with a heightened risk of ACL injuries during jump-landing tasks.

📊 Impact of Maturation As female athletes mature, the biomechanical changes, including increased knee internal rotation moments and decreased neuromuscular control, contribute to greater injury risks. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted training interventions.

💪 Injury Prevention Strategies The review strongly suggests that early neuromuscular training, especially before puberty, can reduce the risk of ACL injuries by improving landing mechanics and stability.

This study adds valuable knowledge to the understanding of how maturation affects injury risks and underscores the need for preventive measures in female athletes.
