USTA.TV vs ForceData

As the governing body of tennis, The United States Tennis Association is proud to offer USTA.TV, an application for the iPhone and iPad that allows everyone to access public and private content posted on the USTA’s Dartfish TV channel for free. The channel features videos of the top professional players in action, broken down into key positions. A brand new library of HD and high speed videos is coming soon. Other featured content includes world renowned experts in their fields speaking on tennis specific topics such as strength and conditioning, mental toughness training, 10 & Under Tennis, and more. Players, parents and coaches affiliated with Regional Training Centers or USTAPD National Training Centers, will be assigned a login that will enable viewing of private content from iOS devices.

ForceData is a very simple app that uses the sensors of the iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch to measure acceleration, velocity and force. Also, it exports filtered data to a CSV file. This CSV file is already prepared to plot force-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time curves easily. Very useful for simple sport biomechanics analyses in exercises like the countermovement jump or the squat!
