This paper considers the construction and validation of a measuring defive that measures acceleration in three simensions and can be attached to a test subject. The device comprises a datalogger and commercial accelerometers and is used yo measure accelerations produced during physical exercises. The specific purpose of the measurements is to evaluate impact loading on the hip.
