Nippon Sport Science University and Letterpress Printing Co., Ltd. will start joint research on a "loop-type motion training system using standard motion models" that provides optimal training methods tailored to individuals based on motion analysis data of top athletes.The world's first attempt.
In the joint research, the standard movement model based on the sports biomechanics * method developed by Professor Michiyoshi Ae of the Graduate School of Physical Education, Nippon Sport Science University will be integrated with the teaching method of experienced instructors to model various sports movements. Build a training method to learn the movements.Based on the standard data stored in the database, we will develop a loop-type motion training system that utilizes the advanced expression technology of Toppan Printing.The loop type compares the movement analysis data of top athletes with the movements of athletes, the instructor advises on improvement points, corrects the movements based on the advice, and repeats the trials to operate optimally and efficiently. A method to improve.
For each role in the joint research, Nippon Sport Science University will motion-capture athletes, create a standard motion model that is efficient and has less physical burden, and will also create a database of coach training methods.On the other hand, Toppan Printing develops visualization technology for comparing standard motion models with exercisers and extracting points for improvement.In addition, by creating a platform to improve usability, we will compare our own movements with the standard movement model so that we can receive exemplary movements and optimal advice tailored to each individual.
Through this joint research, Nippon Sport Science University and Letterpress Printing Co., Ltd. will provide efficient and less burdensome movement training in sports, as well as improve the skills of instructors, improve the abilities of children's athletes, and improve the abilities of elderly people. Contribute to health promotion and revitalize the sports market.In addition, we will proceed with research and aim to start selling "loop-type motion training system using standard motion model" to sports clubs, sports teams of companies and schools, sports equipment manufacturers, etc. by the end of FY2020.
* Sports biomechanics is one of the basic fields of physical education and sports science, which aims to mechanically study human movements and sports movements, investigate the mechanism of movements and the principles of technology, and prevent disabilities.
