Basketball Movement Profile: Inside the High-Tech World of Vector T7
Understanding the nuances of basketball movement is crucial to optimizing performance and minimizing injury risks. We’ve recently had the privilege of hosting a webinar with basketball expert Daniel Kant-Hull, diving deep into the essence of movement profiles in the game.
This blog post offers a brief overview of what was discussed and invites you to gain comprehensive insights by watching the full webinar.
The Importance of Basketball Movement Profile
Basketball is a sport characterized by rapid direction changes, explosive sprints, and calculated pauses.
By understanding Basketball Movement Profile, teams and coaches can strategically tailor training programs to individual players, improving overall team performance and reducing injury likelihood.
How Does the Basketball Movement Profile Work?
The BMP algorithm analyzes player movement in one-second segments and assigns the movement to one of five categories based on the type and intensity of the movement:
- Running – Steady jogging/running movements
- Jumping – Jumping movements
- Dynamic – Turning and change of direction movements
- Active – Walking-like movements
- Settled – Standing-like movements
