An entry to the New Zealand Young Scientist Competition exlains my research using Fusion Motion Capture to measure the biomechanics of skiing. Designed for a 15 year old science class. For more inforation see a recent paper: Brodie, M. A., Walmsley, A., & Page, W. (2008). Fusion motion capture: a prototype system using inertial measurement units and GPS for the biomechanical analysis of ski racing. Journal of Sports Technology, 1(1), 17-28.
Hi, just to let you know that both New Scientist and Giz Mag have put up articles about this reserach on thier online magazines, good reading. I have also had papers recently published in the Journal of Sports Technology, the Journal of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, and the Journal of Applied Biomechanics if you are looking for more information.
