Dartfish is the Cadillac of video analysis software.
For a number of years we’ve used the system at Dave and Lisa Adlard’s High Performance Training Camp in Idaho.
Dr. Jeni McNeal, one of the top gymnastics sports scientists in the World, is the expert.
Dartfish does dozens of things. Once the video is “captured” and saved, coaches can spend many hours doing analysis. (See a SAMPLE video clip after analysis.)
There are 6 different software packages available.
The software is very expensive. Not many gymnastics coaches could afford to buy it for personal use.
And it has a fairly steep learning curve if you want to use advanced features.
Best use at camp in my opinion, however, was to compare side-by-side the same gymnast working the same skill trying different techniques. (You need to SAVE and NAME the attempts you wish to keep and compare.) Any coach is able to use simple features like this without attending a seminar.
We used Dartfish on every apparatus, but most valuable for the girls, I feel, is bars. Especially for release moves.
