Study to analyse how GAA players move

[barryqwalsh]

Gavin O'Mahony, a hurler from Limerick, Caoimhe Mohan, a footballer from Monaghan, Meath footballer Michael Newman and Limerick camogie player Caoimhe Costelloe were recorded on a motion capture camera in Oxford yesterday.

The RePlay project has brought together three Irish bodies - the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, the GAA and Dublin City University - and five other European partners in a bid to preserve our knowledge of traditional sports.

I wonder what applications it'll find. The video gaming industry?

Coaches of entry-level players would prolly find the findings useful. Can be tricky to break down the movements into the basics.

No one can track down where he lives let alone how he moves!!!
