Salming Running Analysis
RunLAB™
Powered by Qualisys
Qualisys is a leading provider of motion capture technology and has
a long history of supplying research, engineering and sports facilities
with the tools and know-how of capturing and analysing movements.
Salming and Qualisys has joined forces to offer the original Salming
RunLAB™, a full body running analysis situated in Salming Running
Store in Gothenburg Sweden. A second RunLAB™ will open in Stockholm
in the spring of 2015.
The Salming RunLAB™ Running Analysis service uses cutting edge motion
capture technology, the same technology used for animation in large movie
productions. We can capture a runner’s every move with 400 frames per
second and excellent precision, the goal being to give an objective view
of an athlete’s running technique. We promote a holistic approach towards
running and emphasize on the importance of a full body analysis, not just
lower-body analysis which is common practice elsewhere.
