Evolution of Sports Biomechanics and the Impact of Computer Vision Technology

The chapter examines the evolution of sports biomechanics, touching on the transition from marker-based motion capture technology to computer vision technology, which enables the analysis of joint movements without physical markers. It delves into the founding of a company offering biomechanics as a service using computer vision technology to enhance athlete performance in sports like MLB and NBA. Through the optimization of pitching movements and data analysis, coaches can receive reports and recommendations for improving player performance, highlighting the growing integration of biomechanics and analytics in sports.
