Biomech Profile

Here begins a clearer understanding of the athlete’s general movement profile. Biomech Profile offers an aggregated view of biomechanics and the kinetic chain, as a foundation for the more interpretive and more context-specific reports.

Focus The athlete’s general movement profile
Source Aggregated biomechanics and kinetic-chain metrics
Modes Static, Longitudinal, Versus
Best use A biomechanical basis for understanding measured performance patterns
Longitudinal Requires 5+ eligible comparable videos
Video quality Clear, stable footage improves report reliability

What this report is

Biomech Profile is the report that stays closest to measured movement. It describes the athlete’s general biomechanical profile through the aggregated metrics selected by the system.

This report does not describe isolated instants and should not be read as a frame-by-frame explanation. It should be read as an aggregated picture of how the athlete moves at a general level.

General biomechanics Aggregated metrics Movement profile

Available modes

Static

A static Biomech Profile is based on one eligible video or one selected session. It shows the aggregated general biomechanical profile for that material.

Longitudinal

A longitudinal Biomech Profile requires at least 5 eligible comparable videos recorded across time. It shows how the athlete’s general biomechanical profile evolves.

Versus

A versus Biomech Profile compares two aggregated profiles from one selected video, when both athletes are sufficiently visible in the relevant action.

Input requirements

Video quality matters

Poor framing, occlusion, blur, low resolution, unstable camera movement, or missing weapon/body visibility may reduce report reliability.

Progress needs comparable videos

Longitudinal results work best when the same athlete is recorded in similar conditions, with similar angle, distance, visibility, and action context.

How to read this report

Read it as a general movement profile

This report should be read as a general biomechanical base, not as a tactical interpretation and not as a point-by-point description of the video.

Use it as a starting point

It is best used before moving into the reports that go toward general problems, offensive context, or defensive context.

Common report logic

Phenomenon

What the system observed in the analyzed video or video set.

Causes

Why the observed pattern may appear biomechanically.

Effects

How the observed pattern may influence performance expression.

How it differs from the other reports

Issue Dynamics

Biomech Profile stays at the level of the general biomechanical profile. Issue Dynamics moves toward the general problems that affect performance and their evolution.

Vs Offense and Defense Dynamics

Biomech Profile is the base report. Offense Dynamics and Defense Dynamics show how severe problems affect the athlete’s offensive and defensive profiles.
