Video Analysis System For Boxers Packs A Punch
A hi-tech video capture system that is helping Britain's hopes for boxing glory in 2012 has won a major award for its work with GB Boxing athletes.
The iBoxer system, developed by researchers at Sheffield Hallam University's Centre for Sports Engineering Research (CSER) in conjunction with the English Institute of Sport (EIS), won the Best New Sports Technology category in the MBNA Northern Sports Awards. The system uses a series of cameras to monitor boxers' movement in the ring, which is fed directly to a series of touchscreen monitors in the gym. The athletes then go over the footage between bouts in order to analyse and improve performance, define fight strategy and gain a better understanding of their opponents' tactics.
