Abstract
A motion analysis method includes calculating a change in an amount of inertia of a region attached with an inertial sensor during a swing using an output of the inertial sensor, and identifying a maximum value of the amount of inertia during the swing to compare the maximum value and the amount of inertia at an impact with each other. A deceleration timing during the swing of the region (the grip of the sporting equipment) attached with the inertial sensor is identified, and the quality of the swing can be evaluated.
