ABSTRACT
Biomechanics is about movement, and the objective measurement and recording of three-dimensional human movement is a keystone of the discipline. On-line motion analysis is an essential tool for the study of movement in sport and exercise. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the key issues that must be considered when designing a motion capture study, from equipment selection to reporting the finished study. This chapter will help the reader identify and address the main quality control issues in on-line motion analysis and have the knowledge to present and interpret the results of a study clearly and meaningfully.
