“Last year in November 2008, a BTS SMART-D System has been acquired by the C.O.N.I. Medicine and Sport Science Institute. The System will be integrated with other devices in our institute to be used for the evaluation of different Olympic Disciplines.
The researchers of the Institute have had experience using BTS Optoelectronic Systems in laboratory since the mid 1990’s, but the recent technological development and the possibility of an ‘outdoor’ use of the system under the direct sunlight open a lot of new and very interesting fields of development and applications. Among them there are Athletics, Cycling, Weightlifting, Volleyball, Tennis, Boxing, and many disciplines of the Italian Paralympic Committee and also of Winter Sports.
As an example of this, we want to highlight the fact that for the ‘first time’ we have performed tests on the snow under direct sunlight, simulating trials of Cross-Country and Alpine Skiing, considering also the favourable period at the end of the agonistic season. In this phase we are also proceeding with the training of specialized technicians in the use of the system and defining new protocols necessary to realize the studies in the program.
Movement analysis technology contributes so much to the Biomechanics Science and is a fundamental part in supporting the definition of optimized sport training programs. For this reason we are sure that an active collaboration with BTS and the use of their measurement solutions will move forward and provide interesting new development at the highest level within the Sports Field”.

Body movement performance
Analyzing a movement performance means finding position and velocity that describe frame by frame linear and angular displacement of each part of the body.
The sport gesture can be analyzed in its kinematics, kinetics and muscular recruitment components with the aim to optimize it.
In that way the athletes performance can be studied and improved.
The injury prevention is becoming the key to success for several professional teams.
Many professional trainers have been developing application models that are now available for different sports and gestures to:

Real Madrid TEC
“The Real Madrid TEC activated a Biomechanics Laboratory to create objective evaluations of all the Club’s Athletes, for both Football and Basketball.
We asked BTS, a leader in the society of biomechanics and field of technology, to build our laboratory in which there were different evaluation systems integrated and synchronized with each other. We think that through the use of this technology the individual biomechanical parameters during different motion gestures (running, jump, change-of-direction, etc.) and technical gestures (shooting, heading, etc. ) can be analyzed and consequently, the training programs can be improved in an analytic and customized way. In the Biomechanics laboratory, all the Real Madrid Athletes (from different categories and ages) make periodical evaluations that allow us to identify the subjective characteristics of each of them and to intervene consequently.
The evaluations are repeated every two months however, for injured or at risk
athletes the assessment is more frequent.
Besides the laboratory evaluations, we integrate in-field test in specific situations by
using out-door video camera systems and wireless devices”.
