This study aimed to simplify swimming simulation workflow using motion capture data and evaluate the resemblance of fluid force estimated from simulation and pressure distribution. Marker coordinate was collected during swimming using a motion capture system, while small pressure sensors attached to the hand and foot measured pressure distribution. The simulation used the coordinate data to reproduce relative swimming motions, with absolute angles of body segments input to calculate fluid force. The simplified workflow reduced the number of required inputs and demonstrated close resemblance in the temporal changes of hand and foot fluid force between actual swimming and the simulation.

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
