03 — RESEARCH / 2025UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND

From the gym
to the springboard.

How useful are gym-based strength and power measurements for understanding a diver’s hurdle?

An exploratory single-athlete study combining trap-bar testing, muscle-activation recordings and video analysis.

BIOMECHANICSEMGVIDEO ANALYSIS
THE GYM PROFILE7 TESTED LOADS
80kgTESTED LOAD
0.51m/sRECORDED VELOCITY

80 kg: highest reported power among tested loads (400.25 W).

Reading the hurdle recording

Original hurdle EMG graph: three muscle recordings with visible activation bursts around 1.1, 3.2 and 4.4 seconds.
1 · Around 1.1 s   2 · Around 3.2 s   3 · Around 4.4 sWhat to notice: bursts appear at several points in this selected trial. The traces show RMS voltage over time; a higher trace is not automatically evidence of a stronger or better-performing muscle. Movement phases are not labelled because alignment with the video has not been confirmed.

What I could tell a coach

Read gym measurements alongside the athlete’s actual hurdle. The recordings identify periods to examine more closely with synchronised video and repeated trials.

What I could not conclude

This single-athlete study does not establish an optimal training load, predict dive quality or demonstrate that improving gym power improves a dive.

The approach

Seven loaded trap-bar trials were combined with surface EMG and high-speed video. Kinovea displacement and time data were taken into Excel to calculate velocity and acceleration. Three dryland hurdle trials were collected; the second was selected for data clarity.

The observations

Recorded gym velocity decreased as load increased. The highest reported power was approximately 400 W at 80 kg. The hurdle EMG trace showed bursts of activation over time. These were descriptive observations from one athlete.

The coaching question

The work encouraged me to interpret a gym profile alongside the sport-specific movement. It did not establish that gym power predicts hurdle performance or that a particular training intervention improves a dive.

What comes next

More athletes, repeated trials and testing in normal diving conditions would help investigate transfer. Consistent force and power calculations and clearly aligned video and EMG events would strengthen the comparison.

SkillSkope

Performance analysis for coaches, athletes and clubs.

I founded, designed and developed SkillSkope to bring video review, coaching feedback and athlete development into one practical workspace.

Published on the App Store, the app lets coaches compare movement, explain key moments and share analysis with their athletes. It grew from my experience in international diving coaching: athletes need to understand their performance and take an active role in improving it.

Video analysis and feedback

Side-by-side comparison, overlay and precise playback controls help coaches examine technique. Timeline markers, written notes and voice feedback keep observations connected to the moment they describe.

A connected coaching workflow

Coaches organise analysis by athlete and technical focus, athletes revisit shared feedback, and clubs manage their coaches, athletes and squads within the same platform.

My role

I took SkillSkope from a coaching idea to a published application, leading product design, interface development, implementation, testing and release. My coaching experience shaped the workflows; Swift, SwiftUI and Apple’s video frameworks provided the tools to build them.

Design and development

The work spans the details that make analysis usable: controlling and aligning video, keeping feedback attached to the right clip, and organising sessions so coaches and athletes can return to them. AI-assisted development supported implementation and iteration.

Opposition Analysis

Role overview

Gloucester City AFC is a semi-professional community club working within a modest budget. As a Performance Analysis Intern within its analysis team, I contribute opposition scouting, video analysis and reports to support match preparation, with a focus on clear, practical information for the coaching staff.

Responsibilities

  • Review match footage to identify tactical patterns and trends.
  • Analyse formations, attacking structures, defensive organisation and individual players.
  • Identify opposition strengths, weaknesses and tactical tendencies.
  • Produce opposition reports and visual presentations.
  • Collaborate with the analysis team to support match preparation.

Analysis process

  1. ReviewWatch opposition footage and identify patterns across phases of play.
  2. InterpretExamine team structure and individual roles, linking observations to video evidence.
  3. CommunicateBring key observations into reports and visual presentations for match preparation.

Example reports

Selected past opposition reports will be added here.
