VIDEO MOTION ANALYSIS
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million
With the use of Dartfish, we now offer technology used by the Olympic Committee and the NBA to analyze the best athletes in sports. See things you have never seen before with side-by-side analysis of any stroke. Everything from footwork to the position of your body at any given moment can be studied and reviewed for your benefit.
If you are an athlete looking to improve performance or get to the bottom of an injury, a digital video analysis may reveal that missing link that is too hard to catch in real time.
Coaches, we can video your athletes and provide you with frame-by-frame (in milliseconds) data for you to analyze form and faults. Using computerized digital images of the athlete; we can slow the movement and view it from many different angles. Frame by frame analysis of arm movement, trunk rotation, hip and leg alignment, foot placement, and rear foot motion will enable us to detect even minor gait deviations. Allowing you to see exactly what the athlete’s body is doing will assist with understanding of and subsequent modification of your technique.
DARTFISH TECHNOLOGY
To accomplish this, we use the award winning software designed by Dartfish, a company that specializes in producing digital images to bridge the gap between our observation and your perception. Dartfish’s unique SimulCam feature blends two performances, one on top of the other, into a single image. We can further analyze head, feet, and body placement of different athletes during the same movement.
Another feature called StroMotion captures sequential images (see above), allowing us to study a critical turn frame-by-frame. With Dartfish, we can also play two images simultaneously to see how your movements have changed over time.
At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Dartfish software was used to help train 45 Olympic medalists from the U.S. and five European countries. Dartfish was also used in Athens to prepare images for several television networks, including NBC in the US.
