There are instructions for accessing skylab at this link: If you don't have a Windows PC, you can run Kinovea from Skylab (as ESU service available to all students).

If you have a Windows PC, just go to, download the software, and install it. There are basically 2 ways to do this.Record your video and transfer it to a computer or cloud storage device like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.For that reason you probably should shoot it in both landscape orientations (rotating your camera 180 degrees between recordings). Note that if you are recording with an iPhone it is possible that only 1 orientation will import into Kinovea correctly (and it is a landscape orientation).Therefore, try to limit the recording to as short as possible, preferably not much more than 3 seconds or so. Be aware that high speed videos can create very large files, and this may cause technical difficulties, particularly when transferring the file from your phone to a PC with Kinovea. Virtually all smart phones have this capability. If the motion is fast (like throwing, kicking, or striking), you will want to be sure to record it in high speed.
You don't need to be an expert in the skill, but it will be helpful if you have some background in either performing the skill or teaching the skill. Select a sports skill/movement that you are interested in for this project.Read all of the instructions below before you record your video. This video could show you performing the movement, or it could be one of your friends, students, athletes, etc. Step 1: The first step will be to get your video recorded.

I have recorded and narrated these videos to explain and show you how to do each step. There are instructional videos mixed in with the text instructions below. You will do this by using a motion analysis product called Kinovea to do some basic biomechanical analysis of a performance recorded to video. The main purpose of this project is to show what you have learned in this course.
