A review of motion capture systems for upper limb motion in throwing events: Inertial measurement unit

Nowadays, the need of motion capture of an athlete's movement be among the most significance studies in sport performance analysis. The motion capture involves the use of sensing technology to track and store the movement. Thus, this review was done to present the studies on motion capture of the upper limbs movement in throwing events of the track and field sport. The databases were collected throughout the electronic media such as the Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. From literature, it was found that IMUs technology is not widely used in motion capture for upper limbs movement in throwing events. However, this device has a huge benefit to improvise the athlete's performances as well as their skills and techniques.
