- Remove the current class from the content27_link item as Webflows native current state will automatically be applied.
- To add interactions which automatically expand and collapse sections in the table of contents select the content27_h-trigger element, add an element trigger and select Mouse click (tap)
- For the 1st click select the custom animation Content 27 table of contents [Expand] and for the 2nd click select the custom animation Content 27 table of contents [Collapse].
- In the Trigger Settings, deselect all checkboxes other than Desktop and above. This disables the interaction on tablet and below to prevent bugs when scrolling.
Your athlete’s strength numbers only tell part of the story.
In performance environments, testing is often focused on measurable outputs: how much an athlete can lift, how high they can jump, how fast they can sprint, or how much power they can produce. These metrics are important, but they do not always explain how an athlete moves or why they perform the way they do.
Smarter programming starts with a more complete profile. That’s exactly where performance practitioner Darcy Norman begins:
“Part of our programming starts around with profiling the athletes — capturing information around range of motion, functional movement, strength, power… then their skill or their application to those capacities to skill like sprinting and changing directions.”
That means looking at key data points as connected layers rather than separate data points, including:
- range of motion
- functional movement
- Strength & power
- skill application
Capacity and performance are connected
An athlete may have strong gym-based numbers but still struggle to express that strength effectively during acceleration, sprinting, or change of direction. Another athlete may have good mobility, but may not use that range efficiently when moving at speed.
This is why athlete profiling needs to connect capacity to performance. It is not enough to know what an athlete can produce in isolation. Coaches need to understand how those physical qualities appear during real movement patterns.
Norman describes exactly this when he explains how he uses profiling to find the limiting factor behind a performance:
“If they have great range of motion, they should theoretically be able to express that in the skill of the activity. So if they lack range of motion… we may see compensation patterns where you clean up this range of motion, all of a sudden they’re able to demonstrate more appropriate patterns in their skill.”
Can the athlete access the positions required for efficient sprint mechanics? Can they produce and absorb force effectively? Can they coordinate movement under speed and pressure? Can they transfer strength and power into sport-specific actions?
These are the questions that help turn testing into programming.
Objective movement profiling gives coaches clearer insight
VueMotion helps performance teams measure movement patterns objectively using accessible, smartphone-enabled technology. Instead of relying only on observation or isolated testing scores, coaches can use objective biomechanics data to better understand how an athlete moves in context.
This supports more accurate profiling across both the individual and team level. For an individual athlete, it can help identify the limiting factor behind a movement pattern. For a wider squad, it can help coaches identify common trends, compare movement qualities, and make more informed programming decisions.
The value, as Norman puts it, is that no single quality is read in isolation; “everything is cross referenced with everything else.”
Better profiling leads to better programming
When movement data is connected to physical capacity, programming becomes more targeted. Coaches can move beyond generic interventions and build programs around what the athlete actually needs.
If the limitation is mobility, the program can address access to key positions. If the limitation is force production, strength and power development may become the focus. If the limitation is skill application, the program can bridge the gap between physical qualities and sport-specific execution.
This creates a more complete performance picture. It also helps coaches communicate more clearly with athletes. When athletes can see how they move and understand the reason behind their program, buy-in becomes easier.
VueMotion as a programming tool
VueMotion helps coaches objectively measure athletic movement, and gives teams the data they need to profile athletes more completely, identify limiting factors, and guide smarter programming decisions.
It brings lab-grade movement insight into practical environments, making objective biomechanics more accessible, scalable, and usable for coaches, schools, teams, and performance organisations.
