2
Q
What do we use for limb kinematics?
A
Body markers/ multiple cameras from different angles to allow us to map the body.
3
Q
What are the advantages for limb kinematics?
A
Very technical, expensive lab based so cant cater for all sports and functions
4
Q
What are force plates?
A
Force plates that are connected to computer software, football players jumping and landing on a force plate. The force plates measure the actions and forces in the feet. Allows the computer to measure the forces that are going through the feet, show forces acting through the performer.
