With the continuous development of 3D motion capture technology, its application in the field of sports is increasingly widespread. In this paper, based on the 3D motion capture system, the visual analysis method of aerobics movements is studied. The basic principles of 3D motion capture technology and its application in aerobics training are introduced. This paper discusses in detail the acquisition and processing flow of aerobics movement data, including data preprocessing, noise removal and extraction of key features. A three-dimensional model-based aerobics movement visualisation and analysis system is designed and implemented, which is able to display the quality of athletes' movements in real time and assist coaches and athletes in movement evaluation and improvement. This paper analyses the potential applications of this technology in aerobics and other sports fields, and proposes future research directions. The results show that visual analysis based on 3D motion capture technology not only improves the accuracy of movement assessment, but also provides athletes with more intuitive and actionable training feedback.
