Markerless Motion Capture for Form Correction in Grassroots Sports: A Low Cost Edge AI Framework for Real Time Kinematic Feedback in Scholastic Physical Education

Abstract The increasing prevalence of physical inactivity among adolescents has generated renewed interest in accessible technologies capable of improving movement competency and reducing injury risk. However, biomechanical assessment within school physical education and grassroots sports remains constrained by the high cost of laboratory motion capture systems and the technical complexity associated with wearable sensor technologies.
This study proposes a low cost markerless motion capture framework that utilizes smartphone cameras and edge artificial intelligence techniques to deliver real time kinematic feedback during foundational athletic movements including squats, cricket bowling actions, sprint starts, and jumping tasks. The framework integrates smartphone video acquisition, human pose estimation, temporal stabilization algorithms, and automated biomechanical analysis to provide immediate corrective recommendations.
The proposed framework introduces three novel computational contributions. First, a Biomechanical Quality Index quantifies overall movement quality through weighted aggregation of multiple kinematic variables. Second, a Movement Symmetry Index evaluates bilateral asymmetries that may contribute to injury risk. Third, an Adaptive Feedback Engine dynamically modifies corrective thresholds according to participant characteristics and previous performance history.
By democratizing access to biomechanical assessment technologies, the proposed system seeks to bridge the digital divide in sports science and provide practical movement analysis tools for educational institutions and community sports organizations.
