METHODICAL-SOFTWARE COMPLEX “MULTIMEDIA BIOMECHANICS” IN THE RESEARCH WORK OF STUDENTS OF THE INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS

Abstract

We consider the methodical-software complex “Multimedia Biomechanics” (MSC “MB”), developed by us in 1998 and the practice of its use. MSC “MB” is based on the method of video cyclography, in which three-dimensional spatial motion is replaced by plane-parallel. The source material for biomechanical research of motor actions in the MSC “MB” is a video recording of sports equipment and a video cyclogram based on a rod model. The purpose of the research is to analyze and generalize the experience of using MSC “MB” in the research work of students of the Institute of physical culture and sports of Udmurt State University. A review of the diploma works and graduate qualification works, in which the MSC “MB” was used, is given. Students’ research was carried out in the fields of karate-do, kobudo (weapons technique), step aerobics, health running, always solving important practical problems of biomechanics of motor actions. The MSC “MB” does not use expensive components (high-speed video cameras, inertial sensors, reflective elements, etc.), so the complex is not expensive, but, at the same time, it is multifunctional and has a good accuracy in determining the numerical characteristics of movement. MSC “MB” is an effective tool for solving educational problems and conducting students’ research.
