Coaches and athletes have traditionally used video cameras and videocassette recorders (VCR) to improve their performances. Today, computers and high-tech devices are available to retrieve, analyse, replay, edit, and print the desired performance into a three-dimensional stick figure image that is analysed from different angles without the need for a VCR.

Biomechanical analysis is an important aspect of improving performance is at: - determines where you are losing power and where you can gain power - helps to identify when you are at risk of injury - identifies areas within your performance where you can improve technique - gives the coaching staff another way to examine stroke patterns, center of mass, reaction/response time, change of direction, stance, symmetry of gait, and optimal angles and velocity of movement from systems consisting of multiple cameras, synchronized force platforms, and electromyography (EMG) analysis.

Some forms of biomechanical analysis include: Instance monitor <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Powerful insights can be drawn from reviewing sequential frames of a movement or event – and this is what Instance Monitor gives you. Highlight an instance and share with your athlete a visual reproduction of their technique with precision and accuracy.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Split screen and overlay analysis tools are great assets when you want to highlight differences in technique and to compare similar actions such as a golf swing, dive or rugby line out.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Drawing and measurement tools allow you to enhance your analysis of a person’s technique. These tools enable you to draw over a movie to highlight points of interest and measure important aspects of the video such as distance and angles.
