Abstract

Brazilian Army Research Institute of Physical Fitness, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil; [email protected] INTRODUCTION The use of thermal imaging as a diagnostic tool has been consolidated in the biomedical area. [...]it will be possible to plot the individual thermal response pattern in each situation / moment. Even using the Athlete's Thermal Passport, the evaluator should maintain the same protocol for acquiring images in all situations, that is, keep the room at the same environmental temperature, use the same acclimation time, same equipment, same distance and angle for image acquisition. Using the Athlete's Thermal Passport for injury prevention in sports As shown in Figure 1, an Athlete's Thermal Passport may be more informative than simple asymmetry analysis, as well as minimizing comparability problems between distinct moments of assessment that are common and characteristic of athlete training routines.
