Abstract

Motion analysis of baseball pitching with some inertial sensors was executed. Three baseball pitchers who were put some sensors on upper limb and trunk pitched fast ball into net. The accelerations of upper limb and the angular velocities of trunk were measured with the sensors, and the angular velocities of the upper limb were calculated from those accelerations. Some characteristics of motion were understood from those kinematics measured and calculated.
