Sport training using body sensor networks: a statistical approach to measure wrist rotation for golf swing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Athletes in any sports can greatly benefit from feedback systems for improving the quality of their training. In this paper, we present a golf swing training system which incorporates wearable motion sensors to obtain inertial information and provide feedback on the quality of movements. The sensors are placed on a golf club and athlete’s body at positions which capture the unique movements of a golf swing. We introduce a quantitative model which takes into consideration signal processing techniques on the collected data and quantifies the correctness of the performed actions. We evaluate the effectiveness of our framework on data obtained from four subjects and discuss ongoing research.

متن کاملMinimizing Injuries and Enhancing Performance in Golf Through Training Programs
CONTEXT Golf is a popular sport, particularly in older populations. Regardless of age and skill level, golfers risk injury to the back, shoulder, wrist and hand, elbow, and knee. Because of the unique compressive, shear, rotational, and lateral bending forces created in the lumbar region during the golf swing, the primary sport-related malady experienced by amateurs and professionals is low bac...
متن کاملHaptic Perception-Action Coupling Manifold of Effective Golf Swing
Researchers have used full-body models to investigate how the dynamics of the golf swing, including those related to wrist function, may be affected by the rotation of individual anatomical segments. Recent studies have suggested that the inertia tensor, a physical property whose values are timeand coordinateindependent, may be an important informational invariant haptic perception of which is ...
متن کاملThe speckled golfer
This paper describes the application of the first fully wireless network of inertial sensors for full-body 3-D motion capture – the Orient-2 system, to real-time on-body analysis of the golf swing. The golfer-club system is modelled as a double pendulum. The factors which affect the efficiency of the golf swing are outlined, such as the length of the back swing, the wrist-cock angle, swing plan...
متن کاملBiomechanical Modelling of a Golf Swing by Means of the Multibody-Kinetics Software "ADAMS"
Previous double pendulum models of the golf swing could have included some over-simplifications (only two model segments, 2D analysis of 3D motion, rotation around a fixed pivot point). This has been overcome by full-body models driven by motion capture data from real swings. However, information regarding the validity of these models is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to cr...
