Athlete balance control ability plays an important role in different types of sports. Accurate and efficient evaluations of the balance control abilities can significantly improve the athlete management performance. With the rapid development of the athlete training field, intelligent and automatic evaluations have been highly demanded in the past years. This study proposes a deep learning-based athlete balance control ability evaluation method through processing the time-series movement pressure measurement data. An end-to-end model structure is proposed, which directly analyzes the raw data and provides the evaluation results, which largely facilitates practical utilization. A multi-scale feature extraction scheme is employed, by exploring the learned features in different scales. A residual connected neural network architecture is further proposed. By using the short-cut connection, the deep neural network model can be more efficiently trained. Experiments on the real athlete balance control ability tests are carried out for validations. Through comparisons with different related methods, the results show the proposed deep multi-scale residual connected neural network model is well suited for the athlete balance control ability evaluation problem, and promising for actual applications in the real scenarios.
