Abstract

This paper introduces an intelligent system focused on the biomechanical analysis of road bicycle cyclists. This type of analysis is carried out in specialized medical centers that operate using costly resources and are employed, mainly, for studies on athletes of high performance. The proposed system contrasts with these centers in that it provides the rookie cyclist with an accessible and affordable biomechanical analysis, although not as accurate. The architecture of the system rests in the advances in motion capture and augmented reality libraries. In the paper are discussed the motivations of the research, the internal design of the proposed system and the differences with various systems.
