Biomechanics of Aquatic Locomotion
Development of motion capture sensors for water sports.
The biomechanics of swimming and aquatic activities remained poorly explored due to technical problems of motion capture in water.
We have chosen Front-crawl and Breast-stroke swimming techniques as two representative support activities for the general study of aquatic locomotion. A new wearable and waterproof system based on inertial sensors has been developed by our team, where detected kinematic signals during swimming will be processed using dedicated algorithms.
Pertinent metrics related to performance, coordination and energy expenditure will be extracted and use to model the biomechanics of the swimming activity.
