Using Field Motion Capture to Understand and Enhance Sports Performance

The DIGISPORT University Research School is organizing its first international Winter School from November 25 to 27, 2024, at Rennes 2 University. Over two and a half days, through plenary sessions and practical workshops, it will be an opportunity to focus on the use of motion capture in field situations to understand and enhance sports performance.

Specifically, this first edition will focus on the critical and practical application of motion capture technology in real-world sports contexts to understand and improve athletic performance, particularly through the implementation of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and markerless motion capture systems. The use of sensors directly on the field is fundamental, especially for high-level performance, as it provides precise, context-specific data that cannot be replicated in controlled environments. This approach is essential for developing accurate performance metrics and training methods tailored to the unique demands of various sports.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to see these technologies in action and understand their impact on performance improvement in real-world conditions, with access to training venues for swimming and pole vaulting.

Registration fees:

–80 €, including plenary sessions, workshops, lunches for the 3 days, and a gala.

This Winter School is funded by the ANR within the framework of the France 2030 EUR DIGISPORT project (ANR-18-EURE-0022).

On September 19, 2024, we had the pleasure of reuniting with our very first graduating class of the Master’s in Digital Sciences and Sport during a graduation ceremony.

The entire DIGISPORT team is very proud of the journey we’ve taken and wishes all our graduates great success in their future endeavors!

DIGISPORT will attend the 28th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, one of the world’s leading scientific events dedicated to sport science. An expansive area will be allocated for the SportEx exhibition.

DIGISPORT will take part in the ECSS at the Palais des Congrès Porte Maillot in Paris, from 4-7th July 2023. It will be located at booth #39.

Sports science enthusiasts will be welcomed for three days in the Palais des Congrès in Paris. Each year, 3,000 attendees and international speakers meet to discuss the various themes of sports science and related fields during conferences, workshops and various presentations.

SportEx, the official congress exhibition of ECSS, enables all exhibitors, congress delegates and visitors to mingle, interact and network. It is also where the very latest products and services related to sport science are presented.

Exhibitors from all around the world showcase their state-of-the-art and unique products and services, which range from nutrition and performance-enhancing supplements to measurement devices and software solutions for physiological and biomechanical analysis, and also state-of-the-art training and regeneration devices as wearable technologies – to name a few.
