Running Form Coaching with AI Gait Analysis

Cadence, Speed, Step Length, Lean, Arms (angles and movement), Strike Angle, Maximum Shank Angle, Sweep, Vertical Oscillation, Ground Contact Time, Contralateral Pelvic Drop, and Step Width / Crossover Gait. Each is measured against a target range personalized to that athlete rather than a generic figure.

Contralateral Pelvic Drop and Step Width require an optional slow-motion rear-view treadmill video. A free analysis grades how many metrics fall into Ideal, Workable or Check and shows sample detail for two of them. Pro unlocks all twelve.

Minutes, not evenings. The exact time depends on the number of videos uploaded and their length, resolution and frame rate. As a guide:

• Quick analysis (one normal-speed video): typically under 5 minutes
• Full analysis (normal-speed + two slow-motion side views + slow-motion rear view): up to 30 minutes, due to the thousands of frames being analyzed

You’ll receive an email as soon as your report is ready, so there’s no need to wait around.

Modern AI-powered 2D pose estimation is highly accurate for movement coaching and sports feedback. It is not lab-grade, but it is more than good enough to identify form issues, track progress and guide corrections.

What makes Movaia different: unlike other running form analysis platforms, Movaia shows the actual measurements alongside images of the athlete’s own running form, so you can validate every data point yourself. With our patent-pending Frame Picker you stay in control: adjust key gait moments like toe-off and foot strike so the analysis reflects the athlete’s stride, not just what the algorithm picked.

Coach Pro includes 5 athlete seats per month, and you can rotate who fills them. Every athlete’s reports, history and progress stay on your dashboard, even in months you don’t analyze them.

For example, you could analyze John, Jane, Jade, Jill and Jack in June, then Kate, Kilian, Kassandra, Kurt and Kristina in July. June’s athletes keep their full history, ready for the next time you analyze them.

Need to analyze more than 5 athletes in a month? Add a Coach Top-Up for 5 more seats, billed monthly or annually. Stack as many top-ups as you need and cancel them when you no longer need the extra seats.

A phone or tablet. No sensors or wires required. A treadmill is optional and only needed for the rear view.

At minimum, one stable, normal-speed side-view video showing 3–4 strides per leg, uploaded directly via your dashboard.

Optional extras:

• Slow-motion side views (one running left to right, one right to left), also showing 3–4 strides per leg, for more precise joint angles
• Slow-motion rear view on a treadmill, showing 3–4 strides per leg, which unlocks Contralateral Pelvic Drop and Step Width / Crossover Gait

See our How To Film guide for camera setup and tips.

• Normal-speed videos: under 10 seconds
• Slow-motion videos: under 25 seconds
• File size: under 100 MB per file

If a file is too large, trim it to just the running part (a few seconds is enough) or record at a lower resolution. 1080p is perfect; you don’t need 4K.

Yes. Manage your athletes, add comments and track progress over time from the coaching dashboard.

A coaching account includes unlimited analyses for five athletes every month. If an athlete has any Movaia account, including a free one, you can upload a video for them and the report appears in both your dashboard and theirs, provided they have accepted you as their coach. Athlete numbers increase in blocks of five with a Coach Top-Up.

Yes. When uploading from a coach account you choose whether the video is for yourself, for a connected athlete, or for another athlete whose profile is not stored on Movaia. Movaia uses athlete-specific context such as injury history and distance to personalize the analysis, so picking the right option matters.

Yes, as long as the full body is visible at all times. Some treadmills block the camera’s view or force an angle other than a true side view, which can make accurate analysis impossible. Keep the camera level and parallel to the treadmill, with the runner centered and visible head to toe.
