@BiomechMax Our excellent technician 3D prints individual markers and segment-specific clusters. We then cover the markers with strips of reflective tape. We secure the clusters with thick elastic rehab tape (tend to favour tiger tape) which can be purchased anywhere.

@iGaelicCoach Thanks for watching and for posting. Always happy to talk about kicking mechanics across the football codes. Whilst there will always be some unique features, general principles are the same. The potential positive effect of improving kicking performance is massive!

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

@MUSportScience @MarquetteU Massive congrats Kristof!

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

Excellent to see @__JLG present some initial findings from his PhD yesterday. Growing our knowledge of rugby place kicking and in particular mechanical differences of youth players. Great work!

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

@ben_rosenblatt Any time, Ben. Come and visit us again and we’d love to show you some of the studies we’ve been working on. There’s probably quite a bit of crossover in a range of areas that would be great to chat through. x

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

Great job by @DrSamCallaghan presenting some of our work looking at the importance of using a wide lens to understand COD performance using wearable sensors @isbs_conference

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

@Aki_Salo You’re doing better than most of us!

[Alex Atack @a_atack2]

Another excellent publication from @AdamMattiussi’s PhD thesis focussed on a unique professional sporting environment with some really meaningful practical implications. Have a read below.
