- Remove the current class from the content27_link item as Webflows native current state will automatically be applied.
- To add interactions which automatically expand and collapse sections in the table of contents select the content27_h-trigger element, add an element trigger and select Mouse click (tap)
- For the 1st click select the custom animation Content 27 table of contents [Expand] and for the 2nd click select the custom animation Content 27 table of contents [Collapse].
- In the Trigger Settings, deselect all checkboxes other than Desktop and above. This disables the interaction on tablet and below to prevent bugs when scrolling.
In elite sprinting, even the smallest biomechanical inefficiencies can make the difference between victory and defeat. For Josephus Lyles, a professional sprinter, refining his running mechanics is crucial for both performance and injury prevention.
Physiotherapy consultant Dr Jo Brown recently shared her experience leveraging VueMotion’s AI-driven movement assessment technology to analyse Lyles’ biomechanics and identify key areas for improvement.
The results provided pinpointed asymmetries affecting his performance, enabling a targeted intervention plan.
Lyles had some history of musculoskeletal asymmetries, which had been observed both in straight-line running and sprint-specific movements. Some prior injuries were still reflected in his running gait, influencing stride efficiency and overall performance.
Following testing at Northwestern University in Texas, VueMotion’s advanced computer vision and analytics platform revealed:
- Significant asymmetry between left and right stride length, particularly from the third step onwards.
- Right foot deformation on ground contact, affecting force production and overall mechanics
- Lurching of the trunk, which was disrupting stride frequency and causing compensatory movements elsewhere in his body.
These findings provided objective data that highlighted how these inefficiencies were limiting his sprinting potential.
Actionable Interventions for Performance Enhancement
With this data in hand, Brown and her team designed a targeted intervention strategy to address these movement limitations. Their next steps include:
- Strength and Stability Training: Addressing right foot deformation through specific strengthening exercises.
- Hip and Core Focus: Enhancing hip stability and trunk control to minimise excessive lurching and improve stride mechanics.
- Time-Based Drills: Implementing neuromuscular activation protocols to improve stride frequency and efficiency.
- Simultaneous Intervention Approach: Combining musculoskeletal and nervous system adaptations rather than addressing them in isolation for optimal results.
Why VueMotion is a Game-Changer in Sports Performance
What sets VueMotion apart is its scalability and accessibility. Traditional movement assessments require complex lab setups and expensive equipment. VueMotion, however, enables instant re-measurement and progress tracking with just a smartphone, allowing for:
- Frequent reassessments (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) to monitor changes and refine interventions.
- Real-time feedback, ensuring that adjustments are made efficiently and effectively.
- Objective, measurable data, reducing guesswork and improving performance outcomes.
The integration of VueMotion’s AI-powered movement analysis into elite sports provides a new standard for measuring human movement. For athletes like Josephus Lyles, this technology ensures that every step, stride, and movement is optimised for peak performance and injury prevention. With continuous monitoring and data-driven interventions, the future of sprint training is faster, smarter, and more precise.
