Lower-limb surface electromyographic differences in roundhouse kicks between elite and sub-elite taekwondo athletes: a functional principal component analysis
These findings highlight muscle-specific contributions that differentiate kick quality between top-level and average athletes. FPCA offers a novel framework to assess movement quality, providing insights for technique improvement and supporting the development of automated performance evaluation systems in combat sports.
