Abstract

A sports motion support system for golf swing has been described by using a perceptive sportswear and a wireless mobile device with Android application, in which a trainee is given real-time auditory feedback to be informed the performance of the swing. The wireless mobile device receives motion data from the perceptive sportswear designed in form of shirts and shoes in which hetero-core optical fibers are fastened or embedded for monitoring the body motion without restraint. Real-time feedback experiment has been demonstrated based on the system, in which the trainee performing golf swings could efficiently improve his swing motion.
