About Bio-Kinetics & Computerized Motion Analysis and Sports Motion,
Inc.
Sports Motion, Inc.
(SMI) was founded through the efforts and experience of Joe Smull, Head
Coach at Penn State University, Berks Campus and Jay Lomberk, owner and
president of Computer Systems Associates. After over 25 years of athletic
coaching and baseball instruction, coach Smull concluded that, even with
all of the advances mankind has made in science and technology, the tools
available to athletic coaches for training athletes in today’s world
are still relatively primitive. Mr. Smull also found that modern studies
now show that 90% of all human communication is NON-VERBAL. This was especially
disturbing as a coach when considering that most athletic training
is done VERBALLY.
The mission of SMI was to develop new, non-verbal methods for athletic
training. The natural solutions all pointed to the use of visual means
for communication and training rather that verbal. And, of course, visual
training is best handled today by modern video equipment and techniques.
This ultimately led to the conclusion that the best tool a coach could
have is the ability to show an athlete EXACTLY how he or she looks during
a particular event and then be able to visually describe corrective action
to the athlete in an accurate and meaningful fashion. Well, there are
professional video tape machines available which, technically, can do
the job but they are out of the price range of most coaches and athletic
departments and cannot be carried onto a playing field where they are
really needed. With no other options available, SMI set out to develop
a totally new solution to biomechanics and motion analysis and
instant replay that would be both low-cost and portable.
SMI developed a portable field system, called Pro-Trainer,
that combined the latest breed of digital video camcorders with the power
of personal computers to produce a totally new and powerful tool for athletic
coaches at all levels: digital video capture and computer analysis. This
new biomechanics motion capture innovation delivers everything
a coach needs including instant replay, slow motion, freeze-frame and
more, all at a full 60 frames per second. And,
best of all, the cost for these new tools is well within the reach of
any school, college, athletic organization or anyone wishing to improve
his or her performance with body motion capture analysis.
