Week 3 – Introduction to Dartfish (analysing)

In this session we got to know a piece of software called dart fish. This program allows those who use it to easily analyse videos. This has allot of use when it comes to the world of sport science and applied pedagogy. The fact that we can now video an athletes or teams performance and measure them next to each other. For example if there is a player who is struggling with technique in their sport we can film them perform said motion they are struggling with and analyse using dart fish. We got used to clipping videos so that we can watch them in manageable chunks, and also learned how to compare two videos at the same time. The sport clip i decided to use was the weightlifting video where a man was performing a clean and jerk.

This was a great session as i learnt allot about a piece of software i had never heard before and i feel as though this will have allot of practical use during the course.
