Wearable vs. motion capture: unravelling the secrets of human movement / Muhamad Noor Mohamed ... [et al.].

“Merging wearable and motion capture data provides a more holistic view of an athlete's performance.” Imagine being able to see the invisible forces that shape an athlete’s performance. That is the power of biomechanics, a field that uses science to understand how the human body moves. In archery, where split-second decisions and precise movements are crucial, understanding these forces can mean the difference between hitting the bullseye and missing the target. Two key tools in a biomechanism's arsenal are wearable technology and motion capture systems. Let us dive into these two giants and explore how they help us unravel the mysteries of human movement. Wearable Technology: The Personal Trainer on Your Body At the forefront of wearable technology in sports is the ZEPHYR Bioharness [1]. This tiny, yet mighty device is like a personal trainer strapped to your body.
