Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to construct a wheelchair propelling form evaluation / suggestion system to support the improvement of the competition skills of wheelchair marathon athletes. In this study, the frontal projected area that affects air resistance and the work of the athlete stroke are adopted as the evaluation index of propelling form. A computer program is developed to estimate the frontal projected area from the depth image taken by the depth sensor. We developed measuring wheels by which we can estimate the stroke work done by an athlete. It is considered that the estimated work might be effective to evaluate competitive performances.
