Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

The Swimmer's Fix: A swimmer is told their "catch" phase in the water is inefficient. Design a 3-step video analysis plan to help them using the Workflow provided.

  • Solution:
  • Recording: Use an underwater high-speed camera to capture the hand entry and pull from a side-on and front-on view.
  • Analysis: Use software to measure the angle of the elbow during the "catch" and track the velocity of the hand through the water.
  • Feedback/Application: Show the swimmer the annotated video alongside an elite swimmer's "perfect" angle, then have them practice the correct elbow position in a shallow pool.
  • Hint: Use the "Real-Life Example" in the Audio Book.

💡 Hint: Use the "Real-Life Example" in the Audio Book.

Challenge 2 Hard

Identify a "Tactical" use of video analysis for a football (soccer) coach preparing for a championship game.

  • Solution: The coach would review the opponent's last five games to identify their "Corner Kick" patterns. By tagging every corner kick, the coach can see if the opponent prefers "near-post" or "far-post" deliveries and then train their defenders to anticipate those specific moves.
  • Hint: Look at the "Tactical Analysis" definition.
