Video Analysis- Swim, Bike, Run

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.

"Matt,
About 6-8 weeks ago, you worked with me for a session on my running form. Great results - I dropped a minute per mile off my 12 mile runs, and held the same pace for a 16 mile run."

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 can purchase a DVD of their session or a saved video file for reference and the videos are retained on file for future observation and comparison.

"I wanted to let you know how much the run analysis has helped just in the short time I have been using better technique. I did a 5k race a few weeks ago, and set a new PR by almost 2 1/2 minutes. Went from 23:30 to 21:08. Looking forward to see what time I can hit in my next race in a few weeks. Thanks."
