The purpose of undergoing analysis is to obtain sufficient good quality video so the coach can isolate different elements of an athletes form. Then, using his knowledge of the biomechanics of a sport, he makes suggestions on improving the athletes style. The ultimate aim is to maximise the athletes speed but an equally important byproduct of video analysis is a reduced likelyhood of injury.

Triathletes generally think of using video for swimming analysis and for that we use a Shark Eye underwater video system coupled with a normal video to get above water shots. However, analysing the other triathlon sports, especially running, can be a valuable tool in seeking improved performance.
