Stadium structures could be exposed to significant dynamic forces generated by crowd activities during music or sport events. This loading is not well understood due to large variations in individual’s activities and their capabilities to dynamically excite the structure. The dynamic forces created by individuals jumping could be indirectly determined by monitoring kinematics of the body. The body kinematics can be monitored by attaching reflective markers to anatomical landmarks and tracking the markers using a motion capture system. This technique has successfully been used in the past whilst monitoring multiple segments of the human body. This paper aims to use the described motion tracking technique to determine minimum number of monitoring points on the body required for successful measurement of the force and the best location of these points. Eight test subjects participated in experiments in the Gait Laboratory at the University of Warwick by jumping at controlled frequencies. The benchmark force generated during experiments was also measured using a force plate. It was found that monitoring a single body point can lead to sufficiently accurate force reconstruction. This finding has potential to allow for experimental determination of dynamic forces induced by crowd jumping at real-life stadium events in future.
