Analyzing athletes’ reaction to the extreme physical requirements of their sport leads to improved performance and avoids injuries. For competitive rowing, Roessingh Research & Development (RRD), a Netherlands research center, uses the Xsens MVN system developed by Xsens Technologies B.V. for its kinematics analysis.
The Xsens MVN system is a motion capture solution that consists of inertial sensors attached to the body by a lycra suit. Analog Devices provides the iMEMS(R) inertial sensing technology for the suit. In the suit, 17 motion trackers (MTx) containing more than 80 high-performance ADI iMEMS inertial sensors and 17 ADI Blackfin digital signal processors to analyze the rower’s motion.
