Running Assessment

Running Gait Analysis in Vaughan

Understand how you run—and what to work on next.

Speed Training Lab + High Performance Centre® combines video-based running analysis, advanced biomechanical data and expert interpretation to help athletes and runners better understand their mechanics and make informed training decisions.

Advanced analysis powered by Ochy. Interpreted by trained Speed Training experts.

A Closer Look

More Than a Video of Your Stride

Running gait analysis gives us a closer look at how an athlete moves throughout the running cycle.

Depending on the level of assessment, we can examine factors such as posture, foot contact, joint movement, cadence, ground contact time and differences between the left and right sides.

The measurements are only part of the assessment. Our experts interpret the findings in the context of the runner’s sport, goals, training history and overall movement. This turns technical information into practical recommendations that can help guide future training decisions.

Included in Speed Training Programs

Standard Running Gait Analysis

Athletes complete a series of short runs on our Woodway treadmill while their movement is recorded from multiple angles.

A Speed Training coach visually reviews key elements of running mechanics, including:

  • Foot contact and lower-leg position
  • Knee and hip movement
  • Trunk position and running posture
  • General stride mechanics
  • Areas that may benefit from additional coaching

Athletes receive coaching feedback and may be given drills or exercises to incorporate into their training.

Best for: Athletes currently participating in a Speed Training program who need running mechanics assessed as part of their overall development.

Advanced Running Gait Analysis with Ochy

Advanced Running Gait Analysis combines Ochy’s AI-powered computer-vision technology with interpretation from Speed Training experts who are trained to understand and apply Ochy data.

Running videos are captured from the side and behind. Ochy uses these recordings to generate objective biomechanical measurements, which may include:

  • Joint angles throughout the running cycle
  • Foot-strike pattern
  • Cadence, ground contact time and flight time
  • Trunk, hip, knee and lower-leg mechanics
  • Differences between the left and right sides

Our trained experts identify the findings most relevant to the individual runner and translate the results into understandable, practical recommendations.

Best for: Athletes and runners who want objective data, a more detailed assessment, a specialized report and clear recommendations to help guide their training.

Data + Expertise

Technology Provides the Data. Expertise Gives It Meaning.

Ochy allows us to measure running mechanics from video without requiring markers, sensors or specialized wearable equipment.

The technology generates detailed biomechanical data, but it does not replace professional judgment. Speed Training experts are trained to interpret Ochy results in relation to the athlete’s goals, sport, training history and overall movement.

This helps us distinguish between information that is simply interesting and information that may be useful when planning training.

The Process

How Advanced Gait Analysis Works

01

Run

You complete a short running assessment while we capture the required side and rear video views.

02

Analyze

Ochy uses computer vision to measure key biomechanical variables and events within your running cycle.

03

Interpret

A trained Speed Training expert reviews the data and determines which findings are relevant to your movement, sport and goals.

04

Review and Apply

We meet with you in person to explain your report, answer questions and review practical recommendations to guide your training.

Who It Is For

Who Can Benefit from Advanced Gait Analysis?

Competitive athletes seeking a better understanding of their running mechanics
Soccer, football, track and other running-based athletes
Distance runners looking for more detailed stride information
Recreational runners preparing for a race or personal goal
Athletes returning to training following rehabilitation
Coaches looking for objective information to support programming

Advanced analysis does not promise to prevent injuries or automatically make an athlete faster. It provides objective information and expert interpretation that can support better-informed training decisions.
