A New Dimension in Running Analysis
With this update, Ochy takes performance analysis to the next level: the app can now estimate your running speed , directly from your video. It’s one more step toward a complete understanding of your technique — no sensors, no lab required.
Spatio-Temporal Metrics: Scientifically Precise
Thanks to extensive research, Ochy now delivers scientific-grade precision on key metrics:
Step frequency : 98.85% accuracy
Ground contact time : 88.71%
Flight time (air time): 93.04%
In short: the data you receive is reliable enough to truly support your progress, with impressive results achieved from simple smartphone footage.
Joint Angles: The Knee Leads the Way
When it comes to kinematics, the knee joint shows the highest level of accuracy , comparable to results from advanced 3D motion studies. Hip joint analysis also performs well, while ankle and elbow readings are more impacted by the limits of 2D pose estimation — a known area for future improvement.
What’s remarkable is that all of this precision comes from casual video recordings — not high-speed cameras or treadmill labs , proving Ochy’s ability to make elite-level tools available to everyone.
