Movement analysis method, movement analysis apparatus, and movement analysis program

Abstract

A designation unit designates a checkpoint of sporting equipment on which a swing motion is performed. A first calculation unit calculates a movement path of the sporting equipment, which is being swung, using an output of an inertial sensor. A second calculation unit calculates a posture of an interest part of the sporting equipment at the checkpoint using the output of the inertial sensor up to the checkpoint on the movement path of the sporting equipment. The display unit displays the posture of the interest part of the sporting equipment at the checkpoint.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE[0001]The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-217642, filed Oct. 18, 2013, is expressly incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a movement analysis method, a movement analysis apparatus, and a movement analysis program.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]A movement analysis apparatus is used for analysis of a movement called a swing motion. An inertial sensor is mounted on sporting equipment or an examinee who operates the sporting equipment. The swing motion is visually reproduced based on output of the inertial sensor. As a detailed example of the movement analysis apparatus, for example, a golf swing analysis apparatus which is disclosed in JP-A-2008-73210 may be shown.[0006]In golf, the direction of a struck ball is greatly affected by the direction of a face of a club head at an impact moment. As known, when trying to align the face of the club head by twisting the wrist immediately bef...

Problems solved by technology

As known, when trying to align the face of the club head by twisting the wrist immediately before the impact, the alignment is delayed and the face is not properly aligned at the impact due to twisting of the wrist, thereby negatively affecting the result of the swing.

It is difficult to observe wrist behavior during a golf swing through optical motion capture using a camera or the like, and it is difficult to trace a minute wrist twisting behavior.

In addition, measurement can be perform
