ABSTRACT
Following the footsteps of available sports biomechanical analysis software VICON and SiliconCOACH, the main focus of this research is to apply concepts of sports biomechanics to develop tools that offer a new alternatives to soccer players in order to gauge the improvement of their performances after undergoing a stringent training regime, as well as to provide guidance in the detection or prevention of injuries, which if ignored, lead to an injury-prone and less satisfying soccer career. The difference between the tools developed in this research with other biomechanical analysis software is that intelligent features that have been incorporated into the analysis to notify soccer trainers and players if any anomalies exist based on the soccer gait patterns knowledge base built during the training and historical competitive games. Hence, this research aims to clarify concepts and methodologies used to develop an Intelligent Musculosoccer Simulator (IMS).
