| Summary: | This study classifies potential archers from a set of bio-mechanical indicators trained via different Support Vector
Machine (SVM) models. 50 youth archers drawn from a number of archery programmes completed a one end archery
shooting score test. Bio-mechanical evaluation of postural sway, bow movement, muscles activation of flexor and
extensor as well as static balance were recorded. k-means clustering technique was used to cluster the archers based
on the indicators tested. Fine, medium and coarse radial basis function kernel-based SVM models were trained based
on the measured indicators. The five-fold cross-validation technique was utilised in the present investigation. It was
shown from the present study, that the employment of SVM is able to assist coaches in identifying potential athletes
in the sport of archery. © 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. |
