Abstract

A motion analysis device includes a data analysis section adapted to generate analysis data related to a hit surface of a sporting device using an output of an inertial sensor, and a score analysis section adapted to weight the analysis data from the data analysis section to score the evaluation of a hit direction. The data analysis section generates the analysis data including at least two of a first deviation angle formed at impact between the hit surface and a virtual vertical plane to a hit target direction, a second deviation angle formed between the hit surface at the impact and a virtual vertical plane to a tangential direction at the impact touching a trajectory of the hit surface, and a deviation amount of a hit position at the impact from a virtual reference position set on the hit surface.
