Mac Pole Vault video analysis app

Pole vaulting is a sport of precision—and safety is everything. Pole Vault Analyzer for macOS will give your coaches and athletes the tools to jump higher and train smarter, all while reducing the risk of injury. Powered by Apple’s Vision framework and a suite of biomechanics algorithms, this app turns your Mac into your own private sports science lab.

Train Smarter. Land Safer. Every vault is automatically broken down, frame by frame, with slow-motion playback and a real-time skeleton overlay. Instantly spot dangerous technical flaws—like under- or over-stepping at takeoff, collapsed knee angles at plant, or excessive speed loss—that can put you at risk. Automated feedback flags critical safety issues in red, so you know what to fix before it becomes a habit.

Real-Time, Actionable Corrections

• Every metric is color-coded for safety: Critical (🔴), Warning (🟠), Good (🟢)
• Immediate, phase-by-phase breakdowns let you zero in on what needs work—before it causes a setback
• Visual charts compare your technique to safe, optimal ranges

Personalized Profiles for Safer Progress

• Enter your experience level, height, and vault stats for tailored, age- and skill-appropriate safety benchmarks
• Get bar clearance predictions and energy efficiency metrics designed to reduce overreaching and help prevent accidents

Manual Angle Measurement for Critical Moments

• Double-check angles at the plant or takeoff—eliminate doubt, reinforce safe positions, and teach proper technique visually

Monitor What Matters Most

• Velocity analysis tracks speed loss and approach consistency—key risk factors in missed plants, awkward takeoffs, and failed clearances
• Center of mass tracking lets you see if you’re converting speed to height safely and efficiently, not putting excessive load on your body

Biomechanics That Protect

• 17-point pose detection keeps tabs on joint positions and angles, helping you avoid high-risk movements and poor postures that lead to injury
• Intelligent phase detection ensures you’re getting feedback at exactly the right moments—not just arbitrary times
• Joint angle measurements highlight dangerous collapses or overextensions, with clear visual alerts

The app also gives the user the ability to store links to YouTube tutorial videos and includes some pre-loaded links to some you YouTube videos (Flat Take Off, How to Swing, etc.)

• Add video via a + button — sheet asks for title and YouTube URL, validates that a video ID can be extracted before saving
• Remove videos via right-click context menu
• "Open in Browser" button for each video as a fallback
• Supports all standard YouTube URL formats (youtube.com/watch?v=, youtu.be/)
• The videos are sort into 8 categories (Approach, Plant, Takeoff, Swing, Invert, Extension, Clearance, Other), each in a color that matches the vault phase colors used elsewhere in the app.

Why Choose Pole Vault Analyzer? Because in pole vault, performance and safety go hand in hand. This app doesn’t just help you jump higher—it will help athletes avoid common pitfalls that lead to injury, missed vaults, or stalled progress. All analysis is done on your Mac, so your videos and health data stay private.

Jump higher, land safer, and train with confidence—download Pole Vault Analyzer and put safety first in every session.
