Tieferen Einblick gewinnen: A free analysis tells you how many of your metrics are graded Ideal, Workable, or Check and provides sample details for two metrics. A Pro analysis unlocks the full picture with detailed analysis across all 12 metrics, helping uncover hidden potential or injury risks. The 12 Pro metrics are: Cadence, Speed, Step Length, Lean, Arms (Angles & Movement), Strike Angle, Maximum Shank Angle, Sweep, Vertical Oscillation, Ground Contact Time, Contralateral Pelvic Drop, and Step Width / Crossover Gait.

Our free plan is completely free — you will never be charged or asked for credit card details. A free plan will not convert into a paid plan unless you actively sign up for one of our Pro plans. Of course we hope that our free plan will whet your appetite for a full Pro-Level Analysis, which helps us continue developing the service!

After signing up you can immediately upload videos, talk to RunBot, or explore our exercise library. Analyses from natural-speed videos are usually ready within minutes Multi-video uploads (slow-motion + natural speed) provide the most detailed analysis but will take longer. Once processing is finished, you’ll be asked to confirm that Movaia correctly identified the exact moments of foot contact and toe-off — this ensures precision across all other measurements. Your Dashboard then highlights three priority metrics selected specifically for you, based on your injury history and most recent results. From there you can deep-dive into the Analysis tab, track progress across multiple runs in the Progress Tracker, or browse the Exercise Library — filterable by running form element, injury focus, and difficulty level.

You will receive a detailed analysis with measurement values and target ranges for each running-form element. The findings are illustrated with annotated video stills of your running form and recommended exercises to improve. Pro users also receive a Top 3 priority list of recommended areas for improvement. To learn more, sign up for a free account and check the full sample report visible for free users.

A coaching account includes unlimited analyses for five athletes every month. If a coached athlete has any Movaia.com account (including free), you can upload a video for them and the report will appear in both your dashboard and theirs — provided the athlete has accepted you as a coach. You can increase the number of athletes in increments of 5 by purchasing a Pro Plan top-up.

Movaia uses athlete-specific information (injuries, distance, etc.) to personalise each analysis. When a coach uploads a video they can choose: upload for themselves, for a Connected Athlete, or for Another Athlete whose profile is not yet stored on Movaia.com. Selecting the right option ensures we apply the correct context to the analysis.

Movaia works on treadmills if the full body is visible at all times. Some treadmills obstruct the camera’s view of the runner or force recording from an angle other than a perfect side view, which may make accurate analysis impossible. Make sure the camera is level and parallel to the treadmill with the runner visible from head to toe and centred in the frame. Pro subscribers can also record an optional rear view to analyse Contralateral Pelvic Drop and Step Width / Crossover Gait. Keep in mind that your running form on a treadmill may differ slightly (usually “better”) from your outdoor, over-the-ground running form.

Die Genauigkeit der Analyse hängt von den Videos ab, die unseren Leitlinien für die Aufzeichnung Ihres Laufs zur Analyse der Laufform. Videos not meeting our quality guidelines may produce less accurate results, or in some cases we may not be able to perform an analysis at all.

Cadence (step rate) is the number of steps taken per minute of running. It determines how fast you can run and has a big effect on the angle of your foot at ground contact.

Cadence varies with intensity. Very high step rates tend to be ideal for sprinting; slower step rates are common in ultra-distance running. Typical distance-running cadence falls between 170 and 200 steps per minute — check our Trittfrequenz-Rechner for a target personalised to your characteristics.

A too-slow cadence can reduce velocity and increase the likelihood of pronounced heel-striking. An overly fast cadence can shorten step length and thus slow you down as well. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Running Form.

Foot strike angle is the angle your foot makes with the ground at the instant of initial contact. It determines whether you are a heel, midfoot, or forefoot striker and influences braking force, ground-contact time, running velocity, impact forces, and the risk of certain injuries. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Running Form.

The shank angle at touchdown (strike angle) is the angle between your shank and a line perpendicular to the ground at the moment of impact. It determines how close your foot lands to your centre of mass, which influences injury risk and efficiency. “Sweep” is the forward-to-backward movement of the foot between maximum extension and the strike angle at touchdown. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Running Form.

Lean determines whether propulsive forces are directed up and forward, straight up, or up and backward. An overly forward lean reduces critical vertical propulsive force and actually shortens step length. Too little or negative lean means the body is too upright or tilted backward, creating insufficient forward propulsion. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Running Form.

The angle at which you bend your arms at the elbows has a significant impact on performance. Arms that are not adequately flexed tend to slow cadence, while properly flexed arms reinforce a high step rate. We also check for excessive forward or backward arm movement, which wastes energy. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Running Form.

Ground contact time (GCT) measures how long each foot stays on the ground, from touchdown to toe-off. Faster runners typically have lower GCT. GCT decreases with more strength, higher leg stiffness, and good running form. A significant difference in GCT between left and right foot may correlate with decreased efficiency and increased injury risk.

Vertical oscillation of the pelvis (VOP) measures the up-and-down “bounce” that occurs while you run. Excessive bounce may indicate additional braking. Reducing bounce can mean smoother transitions and better performance. However, too little oscillation may signal a lack of power in the stride — strength and endurance work typically improve it.

Contralateral Pelvic Drop — also known as “hip drop” or “Trendelenburg Gait” — is the amount the opposite hip drops when the stance leg is in midstance. Excessive or limited hip drop can contribute to injuries. This metric is available with an optional slow-motion rear-view treadmill video.

Step width measures each footprint’s deviation from a line through the body’s centre. If too narrow, it can overload the outer knee (IT band pain). If too wide, efficiency drops. This metric is available with a slow-motion rear-view treadmill video.
