Within the area of sports research, motion capture is used to learn more about injury mechanisms and prevention and how to improve a player’s technique for better performance. The Qualisys system allows facilities to expand understanding of performance, safety, health and long-term well-being that benefits athletes.

The foundation of our solutions for sport performance analysis and research is Qualisys’ leading marker-based motion capture technology. Its unparalleled precision and resolution is the result of 30 years of constant development in close cooperation with the global research and athletics communities.
