• Electronic measurement of traveling times and speeds through photoelectric cells.

1. Using a series of barriers of photoelectric cells, the partial and/or accumulated traveling times that take place in any sport are recorded. Reports are generated to compare the progress of times both in successive series in the same training session or over time during different stays at the centre. These measurements can be complemented by video recording the tests for subsequent qualitative analysis of technique.

• Assessment of the power of the lower body through an adapted, automated version of the Bosco Test (Example) (Example)

Through a Newtester contact platform, we record different jump protocols: CMJ, SJ, DJ, AbJ, and even multi-jumps in certain periods of time: 15", 30", 45". etc. depending on the athletic specialty towards which this assessment protocol is oriented. Thanks to a programming routine designed for the purpose, it is possible to deliver results to trainers as soon as the tests are completed.

• Video measurement of flexibility (angular measurement through video).

Using a simple program (ATD) the articular width is quantified by analyzing the video recordings of the movement to be submitted to study.

• ACCELTEC: Measurement of force, speed, power and angles in any exercise (lower and upper body). Progress check, Establishment of muscular profile, Determination of agonist - antagonist imbalance, Bilateral comparison.

Acceltec: a precise accelerometer that allows measurements on two axes, for recording the force, power, speed and acceleration of any exercise carried out with both the lower and upper body. In the same way, an adapted goniometer gives information on the variation of the articular angles throughout the movement. The software that manages it checks the athlete's progress over time, establishing their muscular profile, checking possible imbalances between limbs and between agonist and antagonist muscles. An advanced software program for customizing tests according to the trainer's requirements.

Analysis of Sports Technique

• Qualitative analysis of technique (2D - 3D)

Using state-of-the-art HDV cameras, the movement is recorded on the front and sagittal planes, both sequences are synchronized and they are presented mixed into a single image. This allows the technique to be viewed in detail and the recorded images are subsequently offered, along with a full report on the main technical errors.

• Video-temporal analysis of sports technique (Indoor and Outdoor).

Both inside the centre and at outdoor events, we record the movements submitted for study by calibrating the space in order to offer time and speed data afterwards and the relevant reports derived from this data.

• QUINTIC BIOMECHANICS: Digitization, Superposition of images, analysis and interactive graphs.

Quintic Biomechanics: Analysis software that allows multiple options. Customized digitization of markers, superposition of images with the measurements obtained, real time data and image synchronization, export of data for subsequent processing, generation of reports, etc.

• Measurement of distances traveled, angles, speeds, etc.
• Centre of gravity position analysis.
• Jump and throw analysis.

Measurement of performance variables in different categories: distances, articular angles, speeds, spatial location in coordinates, etc. Determination of parabolic trajectory in falling movements, calculation of parabolic speeds, etc.

All protocols may be slightly modified if the trainer requires. Contributions from trainers will allow us to develop new protocols for application with their athletes. At all times, it will be a question of the trainers participating by collaborating during the holding of the test days.

Analysis of Sports Tactics

Through a tactical analysis program and "scouting" (ControlTheGame), it is possible to make an analysis of the game in various sports: handball, basketball and waterpolo. The program allows the following options, amongst others:

• Recording of a film of the game.
• Establishment of events during the recording by keyboard shortcuts.
• Review of events marked previously.
• Viewing of game selecting search criteria.
• Statistical analysis of a championship (several games).
• Sending of data to Microsoft Excel.
• Customization of events as they happen and for each sport: ball possession, tackling, shooting, goals, etc.)
• Automatic Clipping of video frames for DVDs's edition.

Technique Analysis in Swimming

Taking advantage of the extraordinary characteristics of the swimming pool at the CAR, together with our wide experience in technique assessment in swimmers, protocols have been developed to give trainers objective and reliable information on the technical performance of swimmers.
