Frequently Asked Questions

Gain deeper insight: A free analysis checks essential running form metrics, i.e. your cadence, footstrike, arm angle and forward lean. A Pro analysis provides deeper insight with additional analysis helping uncover hidden potential or injury risks. The additional measurments are: Arm Movement Control, Strike Angle, Maxium Shank Angle, Sweep, Vertical Oscillation, Ground Contact Time, Contralateral Pelvic Drop and Stepwidth / Crossover gait.

Identify imbalances: A basic analysis features a single side view while a pro analysis compares measurements from both side views. This helps to identifiy critical imbalances. A pro analysis also includes an optional rear view analysis if a treadmill rear view is uploaded. This allows to identify pelvic drop and crossover gait.

Benefit from training plans: A Pro Analysis includes training plans for various levels of runners to improve running technique in a systematic way.

Our free plan is free, you will never be charged for it or provide credit card details for it. A free plan will NOT convert into a paid plan unless you sign up for one of our paid Pro plans. Of course we hope that our free plan will wet your appetite for a full Pro-Level Analysis, which will help us to continue developing the service!

After signing up  you can upload your videos from the ‘My Reports’ tab in your account profile. You will receive an email with a link to download your running form analysis within 5 business days.

Once it is ready you will find your report in the ‘My Reports’ tab under your account.

Your report includes a detailed written analysis complete with measurement values and target ranges for running form elements. The findings are illustrated with marked up video stills of your running form. Pro Plan’s also include a training plan for different levels and exercises with video instructions.

With both a Pro Subscription and a Single Pro Analysis you will receive the same detailed running form analysis report. A single pro analysis however is a one-off purchase – not a subscription. Pro subscribers receive a discount over the purchase of a single pro analysis – we are passing on savings in marketing.

This makes a pro-subscription a better choice if you plan to guide and monitor improvement in your running form. If you are interested in a one-off check up then the Single Pro Analysis is a sound option.

You can cancel your Movaia subscription anytime from your account section on Movaia.com. You will enjoy the benefits of your subscription until the end of the current billing period.

Use your analysis credits within the month as they do not roll over to next month. (“Use it or loose it”). Injured and can’t run? Please contact us (see contact info on this page) when it happens and we will make it right for you!

A coaching account includes five analyses per month. If a coached athlete has any Movaia.com account (Including free), you can upload a video for them and the video will show up in their account (as well as be visible from yours), if the athlete accepted you as a coach.

You will also be able to add your coaching comment next to each report. If your athlete does not have a Movaia account you can easily download and share the report in pdf format.

When analyzing running form analysis Movaia considers supporting information (Injuries, Distance,…) provided. Therefore when a coach uploads a video they have the option to select uplaind a video for themself, for a Connected Athlete or for Another Athlete, i.e. an athlete who’s information is not yet stored on Movaia.com. Selecting one of these three options helps us understand who the analysis is for and use the appropriate information.

Movaia works on treadmills if the full body is visible at all times. Some treadmills obstruct the camera’s view on (parts of) the runner, or force recording from an angle other than a perfect side view, which may make an accurate analysis impossible.

Make sure the camera is level and parallel to the treadmill with the runner visible from head to toe and centered in the camera frame.

If you have purchased a Pro-Subscription you can use a treadmill to record an optional rear view of the runner to analyze contralateral pelvic drop and stepwidth / crossover gait.

Keep in mind that your running form on a treadmill may be slightly different (usually ‘better’) than your ‘outdoor’, over-the-ground running form.

The accuracy of the analysis depends on videos that follow our guidelines on how to record your run for running form analysis.

Remember we require three videos (A slow motion video from each side and a natural speed video from either side). A treadmill rear view video is an optional video in a Pro-Analysis that enables additional metrics (Contralateral Pelvic drop and Stepwidth/Crossover Gait).

Videos not meeting our quality guidelines may result in less accurate analysis results, or, in some cases, we may not be able to perform a running form analysis at all.
