specialists in the Production Analysis Application of data
Sprint Mechanics
Analysis of acceleration and maximal speed phases during sprinting.
Metrics include:
- sprint time splits (0–5 m, 5–10 m, etc.)
- step time and step length
- step count
- propulsion asymmetry
- absorption asymmetry
- maximal sprint speed
- phase timing and distances
These variables describe how athletes generate and maintain sprint velocity.
Force–Velocity Profile
Mechanical profile of horizontal force production during sprint acceleration.
Metrics include:
- F0 (maximal horizontal force)
- V0 (maximal theoretical velocity)
- Pmax (maximal mechanical power)
- RFmax (ratio of horizontal force)
- DRF (rate of force decrease)
These variables allow characterization of an athlete’s sprint mechanical profile.
Change of Direction Mechanics
Biomechanical analysis of braking and re-acceleration strategies during directional changes.
Metrics include:
- acceleration phase timing
- deceleration phase timing
- braking distance
- re-acceleration time
- early vs late braking mechanics
These variables help quantify how athletes control momentum during directional changes.
Raw Data and Time-Series Export
For research applications, the system also provides access to full time-series data.
Exported variables include:
- time
- distance
- velocity
- filtered velocity
- acceleration
These datasets allow researchers to perform independent analyses and compute additional biomechanical variables.
Why these metrics matter
These biomechanical variables allow practitioners and researchers to:
- identify locomotion inefficiencies
- detect asymmetries between limbs
- quantify braking capacity
- analyze sprint mechanics
- characterize locomotion strategies
- generate individualized training interventions

Continuously captures position and speed in real time
Unlike traditional systems that only measure time between two points, SpeedTracker continuously captures the athlete’s position and speed throughout the entire movement.
This approach generates a richer, more precise dataset, allowing for a deeper understanding of performance mechanics.
From data to actionable insights
SpeedTracker’s data processing software transforms raw measurements into meaningful performance insights.
It allows you to analyze:
- The efficiency of each push phase
- Speed generation and loss
- Left-right asymmetries
- Start effectiveness
- The ability to maintain speed over time
Benchmark your performance
SciencePerfo’s growing database allows athletes to be benchmarked against their peers based on age and level.
This provides valuable context to better understand performance and identify development opportunities.
The system can also support talent identification for elite and professional organizations.
