Biomech Profile
Biomech Profile provides a software-based baseline view of how the fencer moves: balance, coordination, movement efficiency, and kinetic-chain behavior. It is the starting point before deeper issue, offensive, defensive, or comparison reports.
What this report is
Biomech Profile is the baseline report. It combines objective movement measurements with derived biomechanical metrics and contextual interpretation to provide an aggregated overview of the fencer’s movement profile in the analyzed material.
It does not explain every frame, determine tactical intent, or provide coaching instructions. Measurements describe the analyzed material; interpretations are contextual and may be uncertain. A diagnosis assigned to one metric is not, by itself, a technical, tactical, strategic, medical, or human verdict.
Available modes
Static
A Static Biomech Profile is based on one eligible video. It presents the aggregated general biomechanical profile calculated from that material.
Longitudinal
A Longitudinal Biomech Profile requires at least 5 eligible comparable videos recorded across time. It describes measured changes and interpreted trends within that comparable video set.
Versus
A Versus Biomech Profile compares the two athletes visible in one eligible video. It presents relative differences within that analyzed recording and does not establish general superiority, ranking, or predicted performance.
Input requirements
Video quality matters
Every uploaded video must show both fencers, be no longer than 15 seconds, have a minimum resolution of 720p and a minimum frame rate of 30 fps, and be supplied only as an MP4 or MOV file. Poor framing, occlusion, blur, camera instability, or insufficient weapon or body visibility may reduce reliability, produce partial output, or make the video ineligible. Review the Video Recording Guide before uploading.
Longitudinal analysis needs comparable videos
Longitudinal analysis is more reliable when the same athlete is recorded in similar conditions, with similar angle, distance, visibility, and action context.
How to read this report
Read it as a general movement profile
Read this report as the athlete’s movement baseline, not as a tactical breakdown or a point-by-point replay.
Use it as a starting point
Use it as the first analytical layer, then move into Issue Dynamics, Offense Dynamics, Defense Dynamics, or Versus when you want more specific report context.
Common report logic
Phenomenon
The measured or interpreted movement pattern identified within the analyzed video context.
Causes
Plausible biomechanical factors that may be associated with the identified pattern.
Effects
How the identified pattern may influence movement expression within the analyzed fencing context.
Interpretation boundaries
Biomech Profile is an AI-assisted analytical software output. It does not provide personalised coaching or training prescriptions, medical or legal advice, official refereeing decisions, rankings, predictions, or guarantees of performance or improvement. It does not replace qualified professional judgment.
For consistency across languages, all FencingMonitor report explanations are generated in English. The website interface and legal pages may be available in other supported languages.
How it differs from the other reports
Issue Dynamics
Biomech Profile shows the baseline movement profile. Issue Dynamics focuses on general interpreted issues and patterns observed across the available material.
Vs Offense and Defense Dynamics
Biomech Profile is the base layer. Offense Dynamics and Defense Dynamics show how movement patterns appear in offensive or defensive contexts.
