Sports biomechanics that gives you the winning edge
We help you push the limits of athletic performance with technology that gives you unique insights into the workings of the human body – sports biomechanics. Explore a wide range of possibilities ranging from the evaluation of athlete technique, injury risk and creating equipment and sports technology that is optimal for specific performance goals.
AnyBody applications in sports
- Gait and running – technique, footwear assessment etc.
- Swimming – stroke technique, muscle coordination etc.
- Skiing – equipment, injury risk etc.
- Soccer – ACL, long-term injury risk etc.
- Numerical measures of performance & injury risk
and more…
