摘要:The recognition and the assessment of biomechanical abilities through inertial devices can provide importantinformation about physical parameters and functional capabilities of basketball athletes. These capabilities,which were evaluated by the technical staff’s eye and the trainer until recently, are now assessed directly,through the data acquisition during the whole exercise execution. In this paper, we propose an evaluationstudy of biomechanical abilities of basketball athletes through the use of an innovative device, the K-track,which contains inside of it an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetometer, and it’s able, through theinertial movement technology, to detect the player’s movements with a frequency of200 Hz. It was alsopossible to recognize and link some typical movement of the sport to determined data of the device. Futureuse and development of the K-track aim to the creation of a software able to recognize the athlete’smovement and define the degree of execution, allowing an increasingly deeper real time qualitative analysisof this sport.
