Skilled movement analysis based on forehand stroke measurement in tennis

Abstract

Currently in Japan, many companies are still having problems. For example, lack of successors, lack of expert and so on. So beginners are taught skills from experts. The sport industry is also similar, beginners are taught skills from coach and trainer. However, expert's guidance is hard to understand for beginners. Because it is sensuous guidance based on past experience. Therefore, many studies being performed in order to evaluate quantitatively for difference between experts and beginners. In past studies, only motion analysis is performed, and there is no combination of biological signals. Therefore, there is novelty in research using biological signals, and it will help to determine quantitative differences between experts and beginners. In this study, we analyzed motion of forehand stroke in tennis with motion capture system and wireless myoelectric sensor, and reported the quantitative difference between experts and beginners.
