Abstract
Most golf apparels are designed based on static body measurement, which couldn’t meet wearer’s demands for skin length increase during natural swing movement. The paper aimed to observe the effects of swing characters on the human body skin extension. 6 male golfers were employed as subject. This paper proposes a motion tracking method to collect skin marker coordinates throughout a full swing movement. A map of maximum longitudinal and horizontal strain of upper body was found. Key measurements that commonly used in clothing making were analyzed. Finally, application of the research results is suggested for the high-performance golf apparel design.
