Microgate ProMove vs NordicAngle

ProMove is an App that allows Microgate products to be used for sprint, reactivity, agility and cognitive work tests. The entire Witty series is connected to the App. From here it is possible to set up the devices, configure the tests and manage all the athletes' records and results. You only need one PRO version device (with integrated Bluetooth) to use all the functions of the APP. ATHLETE MASTER DATA In this section you can create and edit athlete profiles. Each profile can contain a variety of information (master data, notes, athlete's photo, etc.). It is possible to group athletes by assigning different tags to each athlete. This facilitates the management of testing sessions and data analysis. THE TESTS The APP offers different types of tests and allows maximum flexibility in the configuration according to the equipment used. For work with photocells, it is possible to define different sprint tests, be it sprint in line, repeated sprint with recovery, parallel sprints, shuttle, etc. When using our intelligent WittySem traffic lights, there are 2 macro categories of application: 1) Agility: here you can configure the direction changes and responsiveness, both by route and by duration. 2) The cognitive part: this is based on a series of specific tasks designed to stimulate basic cognitive functions, based on over thirty years of studies (with over 250 scientific publications). RESULTS Various real-time parameters (time, errors, speed) are displayed and recorded during the test performance. In the menu "Results", the data can be analyzed in detail, either by individual tests/athletes or in aggregated form by groups of athletes or tests. The results are provided in both numerical and graphical format and can be exported to Excel. SETTINGS Via Bluetooth connection, the APP communicates directly with the various devices and allows them to be set and tested for correct functioning. CLOUD SHARING The new Microgate Cloud function can host all the collected data, create a secure backup and offers the possibility to share and synchronize the data on different devices.

■Overview■ Nordic Angle is a smartphone application developed in collaboration with Athletic Training Laboratory at Waseda University (instructed by Professor Norikazu Hirose) and S-CADE. Co., Ltd. AI automatically detects landmarks at the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Based on the detected landmarks, it calculates the break-point angle and the hip flexion angle at the break-point during the Nordic hamstring exercise. A smaller break-point angle indicates that the upper body can lean further forward, suggesting stronger eccentric hamstring strength. Therefore, regular measurement of the break-point angle suggests that a smaller value is associated with a lower risk of hamstring injury. ■How to use■ 1. The device is placed about 3 m to the left and right of the person, with the participant centered in the frame. 2. When the person is ready, record a video at the setting (60 fps). 3. The person leans forward as slowly as possible from a kneeling position, and then leans forward as far as possible. 4. Please trim it short from the initial and final parts of the motion of the person. 6. Open Nordic Angle and select a video. 7. The analysis zone will be restricted to the participant only, excluding the partner holding the participant's ankles. ■Notes■ ・The entire body of the person should be shown. ・Loose-fitting clothing will reduce detection accuracy.
