The Trace 3D running analysis provides a measureable assessment utilizing numerical data. The results provided by 3D analysis are significantly more consistent and accurate in comparison to the information that can be provided by 2D analysis. 3D analysis provides a 360-degree view of motion capture. 2D analysis provides motion capture in single-plane motions (i.e. front, back, or side of runner).
