The Showcases

Showcase 1 (11:00 - 11:30 am): SPRINTGait – Convert thoracic GNSS data to gait metrics

Prof Stuart Cormack

Professor Stuart Cormack has over 25 years’ experience in high-performance sport as a practitioner and researcher. His career spans Olympic programs at the Australian Institute of Sport and roles with several AFL clubs. He completed his PhD at Edith Cowan University and has published widely on athlete performance, particularly in load and fatigue. At ACU, he is Deputy Director and Performance Lead of the SPRINT Research Centre and consults regularly with national and international sporting organisations.

SPRINTGait

Gait data is commonly collected in running sports using Inertial Measurement Units (IMU’s), however these are typically worn on the lower limb which limits or even prohibits there use in many team sports. In this presentation, Stuart will provide the background and process involved in developing SPRINTGait, which produces valid gait metrics from the inertial measurement unit contained within Global Navigation Satellite System units worn on the thoracic spine.

Showcase 2 (14:15 - 14:45 pm): Springbok Analytics – AI powered muscle analytics

Mr Declan Carmichael

Declan is the Technical Lead (Australia) at Springbok Analytics, specialising in muscle injury research, exercise interventions, and medical imaging across athletic and clinical populations. His academic and professional background supports Springbok’s work in elite sport, clinical trials, and large-scale research. He also collaborates with the SPRINT Research Centre at the Australian Catholic University, contributing to innovative studies on hamstring and ACL injuries.

Springbok Analytics

Our muscles are central to movement, performance, recovery, and healthy ageing, yet traditional assessments rely on imprecise external estimates. Springbok Analytics transforms this with AI-powered technology that automatically quantifies the musculoskeletal system from routine MRI data. This showcase will highlight how the platform is being applied at scale to personalise data and deliver new insights into musculoskeletal health and mechanics.
