INTRODUCTION

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.  

If you'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 see everything that happens with the human body as it goes through rapid and complex movements. We study athletes and patients over and over attempting to see underlying problems with their motion but in many cases we really can't know 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 Sports Motion, there is an alternative.

Sports Motion recognized the need for video motion technology in athletic training, sports medicine and physical therapy so we brought together the expertise necessary for building effective motion analysis products. Since we began back in 1999, we have focused on developing leading-edge 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 even companies for that matter) have the necessary expertise in all these areas to really do motion analysis effectively. We, at 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 read this NY Times article "Beware of the Tape-less Camcorder".  Many of our current clients have come to us in desperation after having tried to do it themselves or after spending thousands of dollars on the wrong products.

So, if you are ready to advance to the next level in training technology then you owe it to yourself and your athletes/patients to do it the right way. Please browse through our website to learn more about our motion analysis products and solutions. Then give us a call. We'll be glad to help you get started.
