Potentiality of the lab

Biomoove Lab aims to build partnerships to offer the following services:

manage and evaluate athletes of all levels from the physical point of view and to

address problems related to their performance, posture and biomechanics;

develop innovation of products related to soccer world;

providing scientific advice to companies, organizations and associations / clubs

Our working philosopohy

Biomoove Lab is a center of sport biomechanics able to

study and develop products related to soccer and

evaluate athletic performance both indoors and outdoors

thanks to the use of advanced technological tools.

The laboratory research innovation in all its activities not

only in the development of new products (clothing,

footwear, surfaces, etc.) but also of tools as software and

hardware that can analyze the human movement,

enhance sport performance and prevent accidents

during the execution of any athletic movement.

In the research and product development Biomoove Lab is able to carry out tests and

experiments and to validate these studies from the scientific point of view. These researches

have allowed to our Lab to create the past 20 years dozens of patents belonging to the

sports world and beyond.

Here are some of our activities with athletes:

TESTS FOR THE ATHLETES:

Biomechanical Analysis

Functional tests

Podalic test

Test on visual amplitude and eye training

Ideo-motor training

Evaluation of reaction time and training to reactivity

Tools

Biomoove Lab for years adopts a research protocol characterized by the use of inertial

sensors that can evaluate the athlete's movement and to build it in 3D and analyze it through

a special videotracking analysis software we created.

Here are some of our tools used in the biomechanical field:

Inertial sensors for functional assessments of the movement and 3D reconstructions

of human movement. It’s a wireless equipment

and adaptable to the human body so as not to

affect the expression of athletic movement.

The sensors are useful tools for the analysis of vibrations and oscillations of any object and

dominances by the athlete in the execution of an athletic movement, his energy cost, his

motor efficiency and his neuro-muscular coordination.

Biomovie (video analysis tracking software

can analyze any athletic movement (p.e

reaction times, postural analysis, assessment

of muscle stiffness, etc.) but also the behavior of facing materials to all types of stress

and aerodynamics studies.

Tool for measuring

anthropometric digital

detection

Cameras for thermographic analysis

6

Analysis with shorts for surface electromyography to evaluate the athlete's behavior,

his work and muscle load during athletic movement and beyond

Device for training of neuro-

coordinative abilities

7

Baropodometric platforms for postural assessment and analysis in static / dynamic

Video cameras for slow-motion and hd webcams to record the athletic performance

Research

The laboratory is able to carry out tests with athletes and to process these data in the

analysis phase. The research may involve 3 to 15 subjects. Such studies can be conducted

both indoors and outdoors, both at our center at any other facility

Example of assessments

8

Metabolic Analysis: Evaluation of the threshold and interior cargo together with the external

load, the breech pressure, motor coordination and stiffness .

Innovation

Over the years, Biomoove Lab developed with several companies numerous patented

products that have had great success in sports. Among these we will only mention a few:

9

Graduated compression stockings with developed and produced

infrared technology with Tea srl. company specialized in the

production of elastic stockings and elastic segments with quality

yarns and Biemmesport srl, a leading manufacturer of clothing

for cycling.

The athletics track of the Beijing Olympics 2008 and London 2012 designed and

developed with the company Mondo s.p.a.,

world leader company in the production of

sport surfaces

.

Zero Gravity, the first and the only football

laceless shoe in the world with a number of

innovative technologies including Twist'ngo

and ReactiveArch.

My Own, instrument for measuring the ischial tuberosity developed in collaboration

with the Prologo, a manufacturer of saddles for cycling.
