Case study

The Client: Founded in 1997 by PaulHurrion, a Chichester alumnus, QuinticConsultancy Limited specialises in sportsvideo analysis software, sportsbiomechanics and performance analysisconsultancy. Quintic’s analysis, productsand services are used by a range of eliteathletes and teams, ranging from golfersRory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington, toOlympic Gold winner Steve BackleyOBE, and Manchester United FC.

The Challenge: Quintic required on-going biomechanics expertise toundertake research and analysis for aseries of different projects. They alsorequired the use of laboratory facilitiesand technical support.

The Result: The first collaboration withQuintic, which took place in 2006, sawour leading biomechanics experts DrMike Lauder and Dr Neal Smithcollaborate with the InternationalCricket Council (ICC) to assess thelegality of the bowling action in some ofthe world’s leading cricketers.By capturing the bowling action usingseveral high-speed video camerascapturing 200 images per second, theteam were able to reconstruct thebowler’s action as an animation in threedimensions. This allowed them tomeasure if the bowler had extended hisarm during the delivery above thetolerance limit of 15 degrees set by the ICC.

In 2011, Neal carried out tests on RealMadrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo aspart of a Sky Sports documentary.Using the same body-mappingtechnology, Neal was able to analyseRonaldo’s famous free-kick technique.

More recently, Neal has assisted in thetesting of Quintic software thatinvestigates the speed and spin of afootball during set pieces and can beused to analyse performance andimprove technique.
