Capturing the rower performance on the SPRINT platform

Capturing athletes performances with the purpose of skills training in the specific field of rowing sport is here presented, in particular The SPRINT multimodal system is introduced. This system is comprised of a mechanical reproduction of a rowing boat and of a virtual reality system with augmented feedback suited for novice and expert training. This paper details the implementation of an embedded acquisition system capable of measuring all the biomechanical data necessary for the rowing physical simulation increasing the performance with respect to the previous system.
