Sports / Performance Diagnostics

Your Requirements

  • You want to objectively measure, assess, and improve your athletes’ physical or cognitive performance.
  • You’re looking for an intuitive, portable system for key performance parameters such as timing, acceleration, or stride length – ready to use within minutes.
  • You need a versatile system for detailed technique or load analysis that works equally well in the lab and in the field – even for very fast movements or high-contact sports.

Our Solutions

Sport-Specific Consulting

We understand the diverse requirements of different sports and advise you specifically on systems for motion analysis and performance diagnostics – tailored to your discipline.

Mobile & Wireless in the Field

Whether camera-based with Vicon or wireless with Xsens: our systems are intuitive to operate, mobile, and work flawlessly outdoors or in high-contact situations.

From the Field to the Lab

We offer tailored solutions for every area – from simple systems for use on the sports field to complex lab setups for scientific research.

Recommended setup

Sport-specific 3D motion analysis

In the laboratory, the Vicon system delivers the highest precision, with an accuracy of 1 mm or better, and captures even the finest details of movement in 3D. Combined with EMG sensors and force and pressure plates, it provides a comprehensive record of movement, force curves and balance a reliable reference for scientifically sound training methods.

Flexible on-field system with Xsens

Xsens systems track movement wirelessly and without the need for cameras, ideal for dynamic sports involving a lot of physical contact or changing environments. With sampling rates of up to 240 Hz and a practical range, they provide precise kinematic data in real time, which can be combined with EMG and force plates.

Sprint, jump and swimming analysis

CONTEMPLAS sports analyses support the investigation of sport-related issues. Synchronised high-speed videos enable athletes and coaches to repeatedly view even fast and complex movements from different perspectives. The modules for sprint, jump and swimming analysis allow for specific evaluations.

Why prophysics AG?

Cross-vendor integration

Instead of isolated, stand-alone systems, we offer you a comprehensive solution tailored to your specific needs, in which all systems from different manufacturers are precisely coordinated and work together seamlessly.

Consulting, Training & Support

In addition to consultancy, training and support, we also offer bespoke services. These include, for example, planning your setup or integrating it into your existing software environment.

Extensive network

You’ll benefit from our extensive network of researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, who meet regularly at user meetings to exchange ideas – ensuring that practical insights and best practices are passed on directly to you.

FAQs

How easy are the systems to use?

During installation, we will set up the systems so that they are customized and ready to use for your application after a short introduction. In case you have questions, our Support staff is only a telephone call or an email away, and we can also help using remote desktop.

Can I use the System outdoors?

All systems can also be used outdoors with the appropriate cameras. We have already managed many projects in the sports sector directly at training or competition venues.

Are the Systems suitable for elite athletes?

The systems are primarily designed for recording and analysis in elite sport and are used by our customers on a daily basis. With recording speeds of up to 2,000 frames per second, even very fast movements can be captured with precision.
Fast movements can be captured with precision.

Can I record and document improvements in technique and performance?

Many parameters can be derived from the objective measurements recorded by synchronized measurement devices – joint angles, forces, times, distances and muscle activity among others – and these can be exported to reports or spreadsheets. From here, changes can be monitored, and comparison reports that track the changes over time, or that compare different athletes, can be created.

What is the difference between Vicon and Xsens when it comes to motion analysis?

Vicon is a camera-based system. Xsens systems are wireless and do not require cameras, making them ideal for use directly on the training ground or competition venue, as well as in sports involving a lot of physical contact, where a clear line of sight to the camera is not always guaranteed. We would be happy to advise you on which system or combination is best suited to your sport.
