What is Performance Analysis?

How could it help you?

Enhancing performance through statistical and visual video data analysis.

Helping athletes perform to the best of their ability.

Improving athlete performance through specific training and improved decision-making.

Identifying small improvements in analysis may result in significant improvements in performance.

Helping athletes

reach their goals by using accessible feedback.

EPA aims to make performance analysis accessible, to help all levels of riders achieve their goals; whether they are competing at an International event, finding marginal gains before a major Championship or improving a score for the next test. The analysis can be structured and completed with your specific goals of improvement as the focus. 

​

Performance Analysis identifies areas where marginal gains made in training could have a positive impact on performance. The analysis process helps improve skills and competence required for increasing demands of competitive sport.

Analysis Programme

The analysis programme recognises the rider on the horse and calculates the rider's joint angles in every frame of the video. From this constant data, the average angles and rider symmetry can be calculated.

​

The Analyst gives feedback based on the analytical results to help specify training and improve overall performance.

Each member has an individual area with access to all of their analysed videos and analytical feedback as part of each of our services. 

​

Graphical data representations show riders and/or coaches areas of potential improvement.  Read more about the members area here.

Information gained through Performance Analysis can help structure specific training programmes by identifying physiological, psychological, biomechanical and tactical areas to improve. Performance analysis can be used as a training tool, to aid riders and coaches and tailor training for individual horse and rider combinations.  

​

​

EPA is able to perform biomechanical analysis on riders in competition, without the addition of markers.
