Simplified Planar Kinematic Chain Model of Initial Start Phases in Luging

Veronika Fedotova, Viktor Pilipiv

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate limitations of a planar kinematic chain model for two initial start phases in luging. During the initial start phases in the sport of luge movement of legs and arms is essentially three-dimensional; therefore modelling in-plane is an expected simplification. Nevertheless, the developed models can simulate the movement realistically in one plane. From the practical application perspective the planar models can be used as a first step in more sophisticated 3D modelling of the start phase in luging.
