Title
Analysis of Selected Elements of a Rower's Posture Using Motion Capture - a Case Study.
Abstract
The paper presents research on the motion capture of rowers practising on the Concept II Indoor Rower ergometer, using a motion capture device produced by the Vicon company, as well as a wireless heart rate monitor. The aim of the article is to analyse and assess the extent of variation of the angular position of the rower's back at different phases of rowing and in different degrees of fatigue. The back's position during rowing was recorded using three markers: one being a component of the Plug-in Gait model (T10) and two additional ones (marked as S1 and S2). The results obtained with the motion capture system allow to clearly identify the degree of training of the subjects studied, their fatigue and rowing technique on the basis of the analysis of changes in the inclination of the back in different positions of the successive phases of rowing.
