3D Body Imaging
In Water Polo, one of the most vital components of the game is swimming, this is because all players play a defensive and offensive role so every change of possession teams must swim from one end to the other repetitively without much rest, so technique and skill in swimming is vital for a player's performance.
Because swimming is such a necessity in this sport, technology has been invented by the University of Western Australia in 2012 called 3D Body Imaging for Swimming. this technology enables for a in detail review of how a swimmers technique and power exertion is being performed so trainers can instruct on how to improve this so the competitor can perform at their maximum capability.
This technology works by approximately 17 cameras taking a picture of the swimmer during his strokes, and blends these images to turn it into a 3D image which makes it possible to analyse their technique e.g. twisting of the body, direction of the arms, positioning of the head/back.
3D body imaging for swimming is a significant technology in this sport as it allows competitors to have a full understanding on how to perfect their technique and thus increasing the standard of the game.
3D body scanning has spread all over the world since its utilisation for swimming in 2012, and is now a common practice in all high-level competition aquatic sports across the world.
This technology would be used in training leading up to a competition as it provides information on how to improve so that the athlete can perform at their best ability.
