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
