Watch the clip as many times as you require and complete table 1 below including the key variables that you consider important to analyse. The next slide contains a clip of an elite high jumper. This task will focus on identifying what variables an biomechanics specialist would focus upon when analysing a performance.
Our goal is to enhance the value of 3D motion capture systems to improve patient outcomes, improve sports performance, reduce injuries, and generally improve lives. Combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods is the global leader in software tools for research biomechanics.
Semi quantitative analysis is mainly used to analyse movement patterns with the aim of improving performance – the benefit of semi quantitative analysis is that objective measures can be taken and tracked over a number of performances to allow deeper reflection on sporting performance (Bartlett, 2002). Coach® to be used within the analysis and feedback process. The quantitative aspects requires biomechanical analysis software to be used such as Quintic® or silicon. Semi qualitative incorporates qualitative aspects such as the phase analysis model and also quantitative aspects such as joint angles, limb rotational speed angle of approach. The latter allows the speed of the athletic performance to be manipulated to allow a detailed analysis of the performance. Semi qualitative analysis tends to be performed either ‘live’ during an event or via video analysis post event. It comprises elements of both methods and has the capability to allow the biomechanist to perform a detailed analysis of performance. Semi Quantitative Analysis Introduction Semi quantitative analysis is a process which falls between the qualitative and quantitative methods of biomechanical analysis.
