In their fifth feature on technology in sports, Target3D take a look at the impact of human motion analysis software on sports performance<\/p>\n \n \n \n

Those of you who met us at last year\u2019s Leaders in Sports Performance Summit will remember our runner on his treadmill.<\/h4>\n
\n

We brought him along to allow us to demonstrate in real-time how a motion capture camera system alongside motion analysis software can enhance both an athletes\u2019 performance and a coaches\u2019 insight.<\/p>\n

Today we take a deeper look into the software side of things and its impact on the three key areas of performance, training and injury prevention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The study of the movement of the human body, or biomechanics, has experienced a great boom in recent years, and today scientific literature abounds supporting the fundamental principles that favour the sporting success of each discipline. In other words, we know theoretically what the gesture of the athlete should be to promote an optimal movement.<\/p>\n

The question is: Is it possible to measure this gesture in the training facility or sports lab? How far is the optimal gesture? Here the motion measurement tools come into play, among which 3D optical capture systems undoubtedly take first place. This equipment allows to measure with sub-millimetric precision the movement of the human body in space, and automatically provides countless biomechanical parameters.<\/p>\n

One of the key providers of human motion analysis software used by sport scientists, clinicians and researchers are Spain-based STT Systems<\/u><\/a>. We\u2019ve been hearing from them about some of the insight they\u2019ve recently gained from clients responsible for the performance of elite athletes and Olympians.<\/p>\n
