This study examined the test re-test, intrarater and interrater reliability of joint kinematics from the coach's Eye smartphone application. Twenty-two males completed a 1-repetition maximum (1-rM) assessment followed by 2 identical sessions using 5 incremental loads (20, 40, 60, 80, 90% 1-rM). Peak flexion angles at the hip, knee, and ankle joints were assessed using 1 experienced practitioner and 1 inexperienced practitioner. the acceptable reliability thresholds were defined as intraclass correlation coefficient (Icc) r > 0.70 and coefficient of variation cv ≤ 10%. the test re-test reliability of peak hip and knee flexion were reliable across 20-90% 1-rM (r > 0.64; cv < 4.2%), whereas peak ankle flexion was not reliable at any loaded condition (r > 0.70; cv < 20.4%). no significant differences were detected between trials (p > 0.11). the intrarater reliability was near perfect (r > 0.90) except for peak ankle flexion (r > 0.85). the interrater reliability was nearly perfect (r > 0.91) except for hip flexion at 80% 1-rM and ankle flexion at 20% (r > 0.77). concludingly, the coach's Eye application can produce repeatable assessments of joint kinematics using either a single examiner or 2 examiners, regardless of experience level. the coach's Eye can accurately monitor squat depth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
