This study will model and characterize the tackle in Women’s rugby union, focusing on the tackler's head impulse. Recorded women's rugby tackle video is analyzed via computer vision and by-hand motion tracking. Our preliminary results include a method for estimating motion of head and torso Centers of Mass in three-dimensional coordinate space.
