Abstract
An algorithmic approach to the analysis of kinematic parameters of running in children using markerless motion capture systems is presented. Key aspects of the efficiency of running locomotion are analyzed, algorithms for calculating temporal and spatial parameters of running based on the matrices of coordinates of biokinematic landmarks of the human body are developed. The proposed data analysis technique provides highly accurate quantitative indicators, which, in turn, contributes to a more in-depth biomechanical study of sports movements in children. This approach not only increases the reliability of the results obtained, but also opens up new horizons for further research in the field of physical education and sports medicine.
