2.2 ATHLETES
In this section the profiles of the athletes or patients are created and catalogued. Each profile can
contain many items of information (personal data, notes, athlete’s photo, etc.). Membership Groups
can be created to improve subdivision into different categories when the tests are to be performed.
For example, a group “Football” can be created with its subgroups ‘Attackers’, “Midfielders” and
‘Defenders’.
2.3 TEST
This section is the software’s nerve center. It is accessed to devise and configure new tests (jump,
reaction, running, etc.) and to perform tests by choosing from the pre-defined tests or those created
by the user. It is then possible to program sequences of tests in order to make one or more athletes
perform a number of tests.
During performance the user sees the evolution of the test in real time by means of numerical,
graphical and video data. This data can be saved and stored for immediate review or future
consultation. Depending on the user’s requirements, information not of interest can be temporarily
hidden in order to highlight other information. For example, the charts and tables can be hidden to
show only the videos in larger size.
2.4 RESULTS AND VIDEO ANALYSIS
In this section it is possible at any time to call up previously performed tests. By displaying the
results, it is possible to compare the images with the numerical and graphical data. The video images
are synchronized with the athletes’ movements. This makes it possible to accurately establish what
happened when a certain piece of data was acquired. For example, if a contact time is too long, it is
possible to find out why by observing the images at the time that value was recorded.
The speed of the video can be reduced down to ‘frame by frame’ or still picture. There is also a video
analysis utility that makes it possible to draw on the still picture, thanks to various graphical tools
(lines, arcs, circles, ruler, goniometer, etc.).
In the Results section, it is also possible to compare two or more tests without the assistance of
additional software: for example, it is possible to ascertain the performance of an individual over a
period of time or compare the results of tests performed by two or more different athletes.
All the data, numerical as well as graphical, can be printed or exported in the most common formats
(PDF, Excel, Word and HTML).
