• Game, set, Xsens: Powering junior tennis players (Mar 26, 2025)
  To compete at the highest level, junior tennis players need more than talent—they need precision training powered by data. Using Xsens MVN Analyze, coaches and performance specialists can now capture full-body motion in real time, helping young athletes refine technique, reduce injury risk, and improve performance on the court.
  Xsens provides accurate 3D kinematic data without requiring a lab environment. This allows players to train naturally, while coaches gain actionable insights into posture, stroke mechanics, and movement efficiency. In this case study, learn how advanced motion capture is reshaping the development of future tennis pros by making training smarter, more personalized, and grounded in science.

• Kobayashi’s gold, powered by motion capture (Mar 26, 2025)
  To win Olympic gold in ski jumping, every millisecond counts. At Hokusho University, researchers used Xsens motion capture to analyze and optimize the technique of Ryoyu Kobayashi—helping him fine-tune everything from take-off mechanics to body posture in mid-air. Unlike traditional lab setups, Xsens allowed natural, on-site training with real-time, 3D motion data. The result? Enhanced performance, better consistency, and ultimately, Olympic gold. This case study reveals how science, coaching, and technology came together to support one of the world’s best ski jumpers on his path to victory.

• Validating Xsens for running kinematics (Mar 26, 2025)
  Can Xsens motion capture reliably measure running kinematics outside the lab? A new study by the University of Innsbruck put it to the test—and the results confirm it: Xsens Link is a reliable tool for capturing detailed lower-body biomechanics during running. By comparing Xsens data with an optical motion capture system, researchers found strong agreement across key kinematic variables. The study highlights Xsens as a valid, practical solution for performance analysis in real-world settings, making it an ideal tool for coaches, clinicians, and sports scientists seeking accurate, portable motion data.
