There is provided a system for generating a motion performance metric of a moving human subject. The system includes a single stationarily supported motion capture device in the form of a smartphone having a camera configured to capture from a predetermined capture position, visual data of the subject as the subject moves (for example, by walking, jogging and/or running) between two distance calibration markers that are disposed at a predetermined distance apart from each other and in a field of vision of the camera. The system further includes a central data processing server in communication with the smartphone. The server is configured to initially recognise, from the captured visual data, a plurality of human pose points on the subject. The server then is able to extract kinematic data of the subject based on the recognised human pose points and then subsequently construct, based on the extracted kinematic data, a biomechanical model of the motion of the subject. The server then formulates a motion performance metric based on the constructed biomechanical model.
