Video Stride and Spin Analysis

When a human being is moving quickly it is very hard to observe movement patterns and form. The video camera allows us to slow these movements down and dissect them frame by frame.

Visual feedback is the most preferred kind. By playing a video back for the athlete we can observe, offer feedback, practice, and then correct their movements. We may prescribe drills to work on these economy limiters and then re-shoot the athlete using corrected form. The athlete gets a DVD of their session for reference and the videos are retained on file for future observation and comparison.

Why Use Video analysis?

Video analysis can help prevent or address overuse injuries. For example, proper run form can greatly reduce impact forces.
Still shots of the gait help determine exactly what type of shoe you need to be in. These photos may be taken to your local running store to obtain the perfect shoe for your running style.
Video analysis can determine if your equipment is set up or fitted correctly.
Video analysis can help determine if you have a biomechanical problem, muscle imbalance, or flexibility issue.
Video analysis can make you faster by giving you direct visual feedback on how to produce power or speed more efficiently.
Video analysis is applicable to any athlete; especially beginner that are not aware of proper form.
Economy of movement is a very important but often overlooked aspect of athletic performance that takes an experts eyes to improve.
Athlete gets a detailed report or DVD to take with them for reference.

Strait and locked elbows can cause tension in the upper back / neck, and tendonitis in the elbows.

Indicates foot strike and pronation / supination. Still pictures shot throughout the foot strike can be taken to your local running store to help determine what type of shoe is best for your stride mechanics.

Foot contacting crank arm caused by knees out pedaling.

Excessive shoulder rotation and arm crossing midpoint of the body.

Heel too high towards top of pedal stroke. Athlete was "ankling" or pedaling with feet.

Forward / slumped posture restricts breathing

Knees in pedaling / hips were bobbing in the saddle.
