Sports Biomechanics

"As a bowler who prides himself on consistent performance it is really important for me to monitor my action. With the help of Performance Analysis Software this helps me not only fine tune my performance but also limit potential injury.

They say 'Pictures paint a thousand words' and to see the critical angles and positions of your run up and delivery stride helps me make instant changes to my action. It really is another dimension for any training programme..."

Matthew Hoggard - Leicestershire & England Cricket

"Biomechanics is the science concerned with the
internal and external forces acting on a human body
and the effects of these forces..."

Through biomechanical analysis we aim to identify the mechanical principles effecting movement, sporting technique and injury rehabilitation.

Analysis methods

Movement can be analysed through video-based motion analysis (laboratory and field- settings), electromyography (to assess muscle recruitment patterns) and force analysis during running and other activities.

How it works

Our systems process a full 60 to 1200 frames per second, we can show you video images with NO blurring and NO missed movements.

BetterTrained use an electronic chalkboard feature which provides unlimited drawing directly on video frames to help illustrate motion problems. We Draw shapes, lines, freehand, get line angles displayed and even find out velocity of body and object automatically. Also, we have a notepad feature that allows us to enter and store notes along with each video frame being analysed.

Direct movement analysis is based on the simple option for image by image navigation in the video sequence. For most sports skills it is a certain position that's important, this feature is the first step in great analysis.

Video overlay movement analysis gives the option to compare current movements with earlier executed movements. This will show improved results as an effect of the training.

Kinematic movement analysis is the most thorough analysis of positions, angles, velocity and so on. All analysis can be made in the relation of body joints, segments and centre of gravity.
