Caracterización biomecánica de la marcha atlética con análisis 3D

Abstract

In this article is described the process that is carry out to characterize the technique of a runner athlete by using a high speed capture movement system, infrared cameras and a passive retro-reflective markers, which are placed at strategic spots on the athlete's body. This allows to register the position in the space of all markers into a capture space trough a time line. The information that is obtained is mainly about the positioning of each marker at the three axes in the space. We based on this information in order to reconstruct and have an additional information that come from mathematics computational analysis of the available data, such as inclination of the segmental bodies in regard to another, speed, acceleration and orientation generated by the markers. What was mentioned along with a group of high performance athletes allow us to analyze the movements of an athlete on the field. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
