Announcing exciting partnership between RunEasi
and the Flemish Athletics Federation
(Dutch: Vlaamse Atletiekliga, VAL)

Owen Malone, Head of Topsport Science at The Flemish Athletics Federation (VAL), has announced on  February the first, 2024, that “we have started implementing RunEasi in our elite distance running program in Leuven, where both top athletes and young talents train under the supervision of our coaches Rik Didden and Dirk Engelen.“

The Partnership

When asking Owen how he views the partnership, he says: “The RunEasi technology is the perfect addition to a program that focuses on scientifically validated training methods with special attention to stability and running technique.” Regarding his aspirations, he says “looking ahead, we are working with RunEasi to further optimize our technology for continuous load monitoring and daily fatigue management“.

Kurt Schutte, the CEO of RunEasi says that:  “our goal in this partnership is to have an impact on the Flemish athletics community. We aim to do this by improving their access to cutting-edge technology, to foster innovation in both training and competition, and to contribute to the overall growth and development of the sport.

The Added Value

Owen mentions that “Runeasi will not only provide added value for the training programming of our distance runners but also for our athletes in the explosive athletics disciplines. In these disciplines, there is currently a great need for reliable monitoring of acute and chronic strain as heart rate monitors and GPS trackers provide insufficient information.”

5 rEASONS TO USE OUR APP

1. Global movement quality

Track and improve your client’s Runeasi running quality. Identify their weakest link with our advanced visualisation.

2. individual recommendations

Get individual training and cueing recommendations to improve your client’s weakest link.

3. Real-time feedback

Engage your clients through visual gamification and watch how they self-optimize to your verbal cues.

 

4. Session trends

Learn more about your client’s running quality during daily training. Our session trends show when and where the quality drops with fatigue.

5. Quick comparisons

Compare pre-post data to show intervention effects on the movement quality. 

3 REASONS TO CAPTURE DATA USING THE RUNEASI BELT

1. No motion artifacts. The Runeasi belt is secured tightly against the body and the skin to capture the actual movements of the body’s center of mass. Attaching or clipping the sensor directly to the pants would allow the sensor to wobble from side to side (i.e., measuring the wobbling of the pants, and not the human body.

2.  Easy to standardize the sensor’s positioning. The Runeasi belt makes it easy to consistently position the sensor close to the center of mass. Attaching the sensor directly to the pants would dramatically affect the reliability of the outputs as the height and tightness of the pants will affect the results. Moreover, these pants attachments often shift sideways while running which further decreases the data quality. 

 3. Comfortable to wear.  Hundreds of runners confirmed that they immediately forget about our belt while running. This allows them to move without any restrictions and allows us to capture movements that are representative of a client’s true biomechanics.
