MUSIC-DRIVEN BIOFEEDBACK FOR ENHANCING DEADLIFT TECHNIQUE.

This paper presents the design and validation of a bio-mechanical biofeedback system aimed at enhancing dead lift technique through real-time sonification and music-based rewards. Weightlifting, particularly dead lift exercises, is essential for both sports and rehabilitation, but improper technique can lead to severe injuries. The system addresses this by providing continuous auditory feedback on key biomechanical parameters, specifically spine curvature and barbell displacement, which are crucial for injury prevention. By integrating sonification and reinforcing correct movements with improved music quality, the approach leverages the positive effects of music in physical activities. This method not only enhances performance but also reduces perceived exertion, making it an effective tool for athletes and individuals training in various environments, including public gyms and home settings. The system offers a novel solution to the challenge of maintaining correct form without the constant presence of a coach, thereby promoting safer and more efficient weightlifting practices
