The sensor glove is very interesting!
My know-how in electronics is close to zero a the moment but hooking an accelerometer to a small Arduino board has been done. Many applications. And accelerometers are probably quite cheap since they are manufactured by the millions for smartphones. This could probably be used to measure rotation speed of the arm or racket/bat, something impossible to do on 2D video.
I hadn't even thought about capturing EMG data. I can't comment on the science of muscle shortenning as my biomechanical courses are too far away and I have filled my memory with other stuff…
