A discus thrower in the middle of the turn inside the ring, captured field-side

Track & Field

See the throw the eye can’t catch

A throw is explosive, rotational and over in a heartbeat. Uplift captures it in true 3D at the ring: the separation, bracing and release behind every centimeter. Throws coaches and athletes can chase PRs with data, not guesswork.

For throws coaches & athletes

A biomechanics lab at the ring

The fastest, most rotational moments in sport have always been the hardest to measure outside a lab. Uplift reconstructs them in 3D from two cameras, turning the discus into a full breakdown of separation, speed and release, at up to 240 Hz.

What you’ll measure

The numbers behind every centimeter

A full breakdown of the discus across the throw: separation, speed and release.

Separation

Hip–shoulder separation

Hip-to-shoulder angular separation tracked across the key moments of the throw.

Release

Release angle & height

Release angle, relative and absolute release height, and release style.

Speed

Rotational & release speed

Whole-body speed at each event, with horizontal and vertical components.

Arm

Arm elevation

Arm-elevation and shoulder-arm angular separation through the delivery.

Brace

Base of support & trunk

Base-of-support width and trunk flexion as the thrower braces and delivers.

Phases

Throw phases

Preparation, Entry, Airborne, Transition and Delivery, auto-segmented.

Beyond the discus

Shot put and hammer, same 3D detail

Discus is where Uplift goes deepest, but the same full-body 3D capture works for the rest of the ring: the pushing mechanics of the shot put, and the rotational speed and whole-body coordination of the hammer.

One setup at the circle, every throw reconstructed in 3D for your athletes to review.

Questions, answered

Track & field biomechanics FAQ

Which event does Uplift break down in the most detail?

The discus: hip-shoulder separation, arm elevation, release angle and height, rotational and release speeds, base of support and trunk flexion, across five phases.

Can Uplift capture fast rotational throws accurately?

Yes. It reconstructs whole-body rotation in 3D from two cameras and reports the separations and speeds across each moment of the throw.

Can my athletes review their own throws?

Yes. Every throw is reconstructed in 3D in a web visualizer, so athletes and coaches can review the same data together, the same day.

Is sprinting included here?

Sprint and running gait live on the Running page; this page covers the throws.
