For best results with factorialbiomechanics.com, record your subject at a distance of at least 10 ft (3m).

Use a distance greater than 30ft (10m) from your subject with ultra high definition (4k) or a telephoto lens.

Optical zoom is best, digital zoom is not recommended.

When recording for comparisons, try to use the same lens setting (or similar) to avoid encountering lens deformation

Factorial Biomechanics @factorialbiomech.bsky.social · Jul 21

Use tape to mark positions on the floor for both athlete and camera, to ensure easier and more accurate comparisons later.

TIPS!

Make note of the fps setting used, even saying it out loud in the video, to ensure accurate measurements later.

The Biomechanics Lab is awesome.
But what if it was powered by your phone and laptop, and could follow the action wherever it happens?

Use a tripod!
Stable video will provide cleaner data and graphs that are easier to understand.
If you don't have one, rest your camera or smartphone against a steady surface.

Spend your valuable time on the action, not the set-up.

Record with any camera, analyze on your laptop, retrieve valuable data and share insights in real-time.

Collect objective data without the lab setup!
Factorial Biomechanics allows you to
Accurately capture detailed kinematic and kinetic data from a wide range of movements, sports and activities, where and when they happen.

Get valuable data right from the action, as it happens.
Avoid adding new variables by reenacting movements in the lab.
Record in the gym, in the field, on the track, and analyze from wherever.

Motion data beyond the lab: in the gym or on the field, where it actually happens. Bring markerless mocap into the classroom, let students get excited with hands-on experience of analyzing their own (and and their classmates') movements.

😃 A new article published in J Biomech by Hosseini-Yazdi et al. suggests that walking economy is closely tied to step-to-step transition mechanics, emphasizing the importance of push-off control in minimizing costs across different terrains and speeds.
