If you want to get the most out of your Nemeko running form analysis, one thing is essential: a good video. Don’t worry — you don’t need high-end equipment. With a modern smartphone and a few simple tricks, you can quickly and easily create the perfect video for analysis.
Side view and straight running path
To ensure your movement is captured accurately, you should be filmed from the side. Run in a straight line parallel to the camera. This allows us to precisely analyze your stride patterns, joint angles, and running economy.
The camera must stay steady
A common mistake: the camera follows you and pans as you run. This added movement makes it harder for our algorithm to analyze your form accurately. Instead, place your smartphone on a tripod or stable surface, or ask the person filming you to keep the camera completely still.
Tip: Set the camera approximately 7 meters away from you. That way, your entire body is in the frame from start to finish.
Record in 60 FPS and 4K
Our analysis works frame by frame. The more visual detail we have, the better the results. So make sure to enable 60 FPS and 4K resolution in your camera settings.
Note: Most modern smartphones support 60 FPS and 4K resolution. You can activate this in your device's camera settings.
Run naturally
Don’t try to exaggerate your running form just for the video. That’s understandable, but not helpful for analysis. Run just as you normally would. Only then can we identify realistic movement patterns to work on together.
Tip: Warm up for 10 minutes before recording your video. A short jog or a few running drills will do. This helps your body move naturally and prepares your muscles for action.
