Abstract
Change of Direction (COD) is a critical movement skill during athletic gameplay. In team sports like football, basketball, and rugby, the on-field performance is often assessed by the ability to change direction quickly. Optimizing COD reduces injury risk and improves team outcomes. This review examines algorithmic approaches for detecting COD using wearable sensor data. Each method's process, results, strengths, and limitations are summarized. An exploratory methodology was used to search databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, IEEE, and Science Direct. Findings show ongoing progress in COD detection, but also highlight gaps, such as non-standardized sensor placement, inconsistent sampling rates, and limited open datasets. These issues hinder the use of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models. To address this, we propose an AI-based framework to automate COD detection. This review aims to support decision-making and future research in wearable-based COD monitoring.
