Running to Success

A retailer of leisure equipment gives its customers an interactive running experience.

Ron Flowers Sports, based in Wolverhampton, purchased a running machine to enhance its service to the local running and athletic community. The team at IT Futures was able to assist by recommending the use of digital video capture and analysis techniques. Through the production of a sophisticated software package staff at Ron Flowers are now able to store the video material in a database and perform a detailed analysis of the runner’s action. Customers can now be given a thorough diagnosis of the correct choice of running shoes which was otherwise not possible.
