If you
watched any of the 2008 Summer Olympics then, chances are, many of the
athletes you saw, trained with the help of computerized motion analysis.
Olympic teams learned years ago that motion analysis is the next frontier in
athletic training. Until recently, it's been a "best kept secret" and out of
the reach of all but the very elite teams and athletes. Our goal at
Sports Motion
is to make motion analysis affordable and available to every athlete. 
u're an athlete,
coach,
trainer,
physical therapist or anyone involved with athletics or human motion studies
then you need to accept the fact that your eyes and brain cannot process
information fast enough to see all the details associated with rapid body
motion. Even as trained sports or medical professionals, we cannot possibly

that happens with the human body as it goes through rapid and complex

for sure what's going wrong, so we resort to trial-and-error to find solutions. Is there an alternative? Well, thanks to the innovations at

motion analysis systems that employ the right equipment for the right job.
To be done correctly motion analysis requires expertise in areas of video
software, computer hardware, camera equipment and photography. Few people (or

Sports Motion, have that
expertise. We custom-design systems for our clients that take into
consideration critical variables ranging from the type of activity or sport to lighting
conditions and environmental issues (indoor, outdoor, extreme weather,
etc.). When it comes to critical components like video cameras, for example,
there are only a few that are
acceptable for true motion processing. Picking the wrong equipment spells
disaster in this business and horror stories abound for those who insist on
trying it themselves. A classic example is the latest fad that has everyone
buying new tape-less camcorders that use DVD and hard drives. These are the
WORST types of camcorders for motion analysis. If you don't believe me, then
