“We primarily use Quintic as a video analysis tool that allows us to implement in-session and post-session analysis, while also providing comparative analyse of techniques and movements over a period of time. Quintic enables us to compare videos and technique from today’s training session against past (and future) training sessions and competitions.

If with one of our athletes we are looking at the angles of shoulder to elbow to hand, Quintic allows us to draw this angle straight onto the video and provide the athlete with ongoing visual feedback. One of the most important ways I utilise Quintic is my post session coaching analysis, with functions like the export analysis tool and the stage by stage multi-photo sequence.

Export analysis allows me to add angle drawings, foot contact timings, coaching points and other notational analysis to the video; I can then email this video along with the free Quintic Player to any of my athletes. The extra functionality of the Quintic Player allows my athletes to watch the video and see all of my coaching points as they play the video through, scroll back and forth, use frame advance and other functions. Retaining a video copy of important training/competition notes and advice allows them access at any time.

I like the stage by stage photo sequence which breaks down the technique into a series of still images with coaching points, shapes and angles overlaid on top such as angle of dorsiflexion, angle of pole at take off, various angles throughout the jump, and lines to highlight body alignment /position. I can drop the stage by stage sequence into Word or Excel, save it as a digital image or easily send it by email /CD to the athlete as further coaching advice or for discussion…

Quintic allows me to provide advice and feedback to the athlete in this fantastic way – the athlete can access it away from the training session – in this way we keep building a pattern of analysis as we move forward throughout our training season.

English Archery ‘hit Gold’ with Quintic software in Delhi

Quintic Testimonial : Paul Atkins of English Archery

“Quintic was chosen after comparison with other similar products. The demo was well presented covering all areas. Time had been taken to obtain clips of Archers so the presentation was personalised to us and our requirements. No pressure to buy was put on us at any time, being a British company also had its attractions. The licensing, registering and setting up of the programme for our athletes was very straight forward allowing them to be up and using it in a short space of their precious time. Within 2 hours the archers were using the system with confidence and exploring different areas that it could be applied to.

Over the 09/10 Winter training camps Quintic have attended with their pressure plate and in conjunction with the Casio high speed cameras we have been able to rectify faults and improve our teams performance. Their attitude has always been helpful and friendly regularly working longer hours to ensure all our needs had been met before departing. Backup has been excellent, always someone at the end of the phone to answer any queries we have had. Overall we have found a British company supplying a product that best suited our requirements.

The Quintic programme is very user friendly allowing the archer / analyst to be up and running with its operation in a short space of time. Our Archers have improved their scores with the aid of Quintic. We have just returned from our Test Event in India in preparation for the Commonwealth Games in October with a pleasing haul of medals, including Gold’s, from Archers who have been benefiting directly from the Quintic Analysis Software for only a few months.”

 

Andy Rikuenko of English Archery, is currently ranked 4th in the Gentlemen’s Compound GNAS Target Archery rankings for 2009.

Quintic Biomechanics v17 is used to calculate velocity of the arrow along with the technique of the individuals. This is vital to the performance analysis of archery. By knowing these values overall technique can be improved in order to achieve the optimum velocity for the task e.g. in archery hitting the target. By calculating the different types of velocities separately a comprehendible breakdown of the effect of external factors affecting performance can be achieved. As well as this problem areas can be established and in turn rectified. This is fundamental as usually it’s the small mistakes that usually go unnoticed which are responsible for an overall poor technique.

The Quintic® software provides a visual aid for calculating velocity and other kinematic values. It is a useful tool in both coaching and teaching fields as it presents data in an uncomplicated and understandable format thus making it easier for athletes/students to appreciate the velocity mechanism, and how it applies to them in their own field of sport.

All the best for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi from all at Quintic…
