Dear colleagues:
I was recently asked to do an underwater motion analysis of the swimmers to
quantify the propulsive force from the arms and legs. I personally have some
experiences in the underwater motion analysis but it's been limited to
kinematics. Besides, I have used inverse-periscopes, but this time I will
have to use waterproof housings. So I'd like to ask help from the readership
of Biomch-L. I would appreciate it if the members of Biomch-L would provide
me with some valuable info or pointers.
1. References: The references I have located so far are listed below. Any
additional references will be greatly appreciated.
Berger, Hollander, & De Groot (1999). Determining propulsive force in front
crawl swimming: a comparison of two methods. Journal of Sports Sciences 17,
97-105.
Payton & Bartlett (1995). Estimating propulsive forces in swimming from
three-dimensional kinematic data. Journal of Sports Sciences 13, 447-454.
Schleihauf (1979). A hydrodynamic analysis of swimming propulsion. In
Swimming III (Terauds & Bedingfield Eds.), pp. 79-109, Baltimore, MD:
University Park Press.
Schleihauf, Gray & De Rose (1983). Three-dimensional analysis of hand
propulsion in the sprint front crawl stroke. In Biomechanics and Medicine in
Swimming (Hollander, Huijing & De Groot, Eds.), pp. 173-183. Champaign, IL:
Human Kinetics.
2. Camera location: I have used inverse-periscopes so far, but I'll have to
use waterproof housings this time. Any suggestions in terms of camera
location (distance, depth & angle) for the best digitizing views?
3. Markers: I believe you need several markers on a segment (such as hand)
to quantify the segment orientation. I would welcome any suggestions
regarding markers required to quantify the propulsive force from the hand,
arm and the leg.
4. Programs: Any compiled computer programs or raw codes available?
Preferably in C or C++ (including Visual C++), but anything in Basic
(including VisualBasic) or Fortran is also fine? I don't mind writing my own
program, but I think there is no reason to re-invent the wheel.
5. Precuations, etc: Any relevant suggestions or precautions from your
experience will be greatly appreciated.
As usual, I'll post the summary on Biomch-L. Thanks in advance!
