Dartfish provides us with video software solutions that allow us to use the power of video to enhance learning and document performance improvement and, thus, provide a better training experience. When an athlete can see the effects of a particular adjustment in running form, for example, they are better able to commit that adjustment to muscle memory. DartPower, a cooperative development between Athletic Republic and Dartfish, further integrates video with test information and provides an intelligent platform for learning, teaching and coaching.·

Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc. is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of force measuring devices. ·We partnered with them to develop the patented AccuPower portable force platform. We use the force platform to measure generated forces and analyze them against a centralized database that provides performance capabilities, either as a percentile ranking for an athlete’s effort as compared with others of the same height, weight, age and gender or as a measure of stability. Doing so provides a clear picture of what an athlete needs to do improve and, if injured, when they can safely return to competition.
