What is Football Movement Profile (FMP)?

Football Movement Profile (FMP) developed by Catapult uses inertial sensor derived algorithms to detect Football specific movements and categorize them into multi directional (dynamic) and steady state categories as well as different intensities (low, medium, high).

Identification of these movements allows for better insights on mechanical work done by Athletes during an Activity. Thereby, allowing practitioners to make more informed decisions on load management both live and post Activity.

FMP movements can be categorized into the following Movement Categories:
