Motion Capture for Sports
Research & Analysis
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. Qualisys motion capture system allows facilities to expand understanding of performance, safety, health and long-term well-being that benefits athletes.
The foundation of our motion capture solution for sport 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.

Specialized Sports Motion Capture Modules
Our interactive web reports provide coaches and athletes with sharable and comprehensive content. Go from data collection to reports with Qualisys Analysis Modules – developed as a customizable infrastructure designed for sports motion capture that lets you automate repetitive tasks in your workflow. Biomechanical calculations are performed within Calqulus, Visual3D, Prisma Pose and Theia3D. Pre-defined sport modules exist for the applications below.
Running Analysis
Cycling Analysis
Baseball Analysis
Golf Analysis
Cricket Analysis
Functional Assessment
Using a calibrated Qualisys video camera system, perform markerless analysis through the Prisma Pose add-on license or the Theia3D integration. Prisma Pose identifies skeleton segments from the video capture directly in QTM – no additional software is needed for processing. Both options are synchronized with force plates and EMG.
Device Integrations
“The Qualisys system deploys seamless operation from measure to analysis; it can be easily used by everyone from the top level to the general public.”
Masui Fumito
Professor, Kitami Institute of Technology
“There are several dozen specific metrics we track, and each one can highlight potential issues that we can address – this is about as sophisticated an analysis as you can get!”

Find your local lab – with world-class movement analysis
Q-Labs is a growing UK-wide network of biomechanics and equine lameness experts, each powered by Qualisys motion capture technology – so wherever you are, world-class movement analysis is closer than you think.
High-Speed Video Integration for Sports Motion Capture
The Miqus Video Plus calibrates and synchronizes with the rest of the camera system, providing crystal clear 3D overlay with a full resolution of 2.8MP. The camera streams synchronized video at rapid speeds – critical for motion capture in sports performance analysis. The camera reaches full HD 1080p at 120 frames per second (fps) and 720p at 480 fps.
