Abstract
The paper addresses the problem of a system design for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of human running. In this work the general conception of diagnostic system which can capture and measure some specific and key parameters of the running stride and posture is discussed. Instead of using the high resolution motion capture systems an application of relatively simple technological means are proposed. Running biomechanics improvement require changing some basic phases of motion. Extracting key elements of the overall and quite complex process of running, and further working under their improvement can result in successful transformation on running form. Moreover reducing the number of motion parameter observed allows applying relatively simple diagnostic system. In this paper an application of 2D vision system and inertial measurement units is discussed.
