■ Challenges before implementing SPLYZA Motion

In our coaching exercises class, we set up learning scenarios where students practice coaching they've come up with themselves. Before implementing SPLYZA Motion, the materials for thinking tended to be experiences and texts, and the coaching often became textbook-based or similar, not creating anything new. I strongly felt that "a tool is necessary to create original ideas".


■ Decision factor for implementing SPLYZA Motion

As long as you have an iPhone/iPad, you can analyze processing at the location which makes it very easy to handle. Also, I feel that the frequent functional and precision updates of SPLYZA Motion are good points. "SPLYZA Motion is amazing," I often tell students.


■ Actual use of SPLYZA Motion

We use SPLYZA Motion in the coaching exercises class for third-year students. As one of the tools, it is used as a means of motion analysis, and students are using it while trial and error. In addition, students analyze movements, compile information into reports, and conduct final presentations as part of task-based learning.

Since the exercise tasks are free, students can choose their own specialty events or favorite sports, and students conducting research presentations on postoperative rehabilitation progress show various originality.


■ Effects after introducing SPLYZA Motion

We've seen an increase in students saying, "This is interesting!" They have a desire to approach and coach the content of movements, and it's clear that coaching approaches, methods, and advice expressions have changed. Among sports athletes, who tend to have subjective perspectives, this tool is undoubtedly necessary to effectively integrate subjective and objective viewpoints.

Furthermore, by viewing data on movements like side steps and jumps, it has become an opportunity to focus on conditioning evaluations such as "Is the injury still not healed?"
