P 126 - Quantitative analysis of rowing technique using motion capture system

Motion capture systems are very precise, so they are used for tracking motion of athletes, including rowers [1]. The technique used in rowing activities is extremely important for achieving better results and performance. The quantitative analysis may be useful for improving athetes ’ rowing skills and to indicate their weaknesses that cannot be noticed by a trainer [2]. The obtained 3D data may be used for biomechanical analysis conducted in a motion capture software.
