Content Research - Internship

We are running a research initiative focused on understanding, categorising,

and analysing human movement across wellness, fitness, martial arts,

rehabilitation, and everyday physical activity using video-based observation.

The work involves building structured movement knowledge from diverse, real-

world motions.

Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:

A. Movement Classification & Taxonomy

1\. Identify and define categories of human movement across:

\- Yoga, Pilates, dance fitness (e.g. Zumba-style routines)

\- Martial arts and combat training

\- Bodyweight and functional training

\- Mobility, rehabilitation, balance, and recovery

2\. Group movements by biomechanical characteristics, not brand names.

B. Video-Based Movement Analysis

1\. Analyse human motion from videos:

\- Body alignment

\- Joint usage and range of motion

\- Balance, symmetry, and transitions

2\. Break complex sequences into meaningful movement units.

C. Dataset Curation & Quality Control

1\. Source and curate high-quality movement videos from public and licensed

sources.

2\. Evaluate videos for:

\- Clarity of movement

\- Camera stability and framing

\- Representativeness across cultures, body types, and ages

3\. Identify redundancy, gaps, and biases in collections.

D. Annotation Framework Design

1\. Design structured annotation schemas for describing movement:

\- Static postures vs dynamic sequences

\- Transitions and flow

\- Tempo and intensity

2\. Document clear annotation guidelines.

5\. Research Documentation - Write concise notes explaining:

\- Why categories exist

\- Why are some movements excluded

\- Trade-offs in classification decisions

What you will not do:

1\. No content writing or influencer outreach

2\. No workout recording or coaching

3\. No hardware, sensors, or wearables needed
