Abstract
The research work presents a specific procedure to evaluate the performance of soccer goalkeepers by means of a marker-less motion capture (Mocap) system based on a set of 8 GoPro active cameras. The layout of the sensors and the calibration phase have been defined to be easily replicated and not to interfere with athletes and trainers during the exercises. The proposed solution has been tested in collaboration with goalkeeper coaches, who made available the knowledge about conventional training exercise. The Mocap system has been tested by involving two goalkeepers and a coach. The results have been elaborated and the outcomes have been considered interesting by experts. Furthermore, the adopted technology for motion capture and elaboration could be evaluated for an application to the rehabilitation process of an athlete after an injury, to determine his stage of recovery and the most suitable work to be done.
