Abstract
This paper presents several methods used in motion capture to measure jumps. The traditional systems to acquire jump information are force plates, but they are very expensive to most people. Amateur sports enthusiasts that want to improve their performance, do not have enough money to spend in professional systems (\(\pm 20.000\) EUR). The price reduction of electronic devices, specifically the inertial measurement units (IMU), are generating new methods of motion capture. In this paper we present the state-of-art motion capture systems for this purpose, from the classical force plates to latest released IMUs. Noise reduction techniques, as an inherent part of motion capture systems, will be reviewed.
