What is Basketball Movement Profile (BMP)?

Catapult has engineered the Basketball Movement Profile (BMP), which quantifies and categorizes every type of basketball movement on the court to help coaches make better decisions for their athletes and identify the causes of performance strain with more accuracy. It uses the inertial sensors inside the device to provide absolute and relative time spent in the five movement categories:

• Active
• Running
• Dynamic
• Jumping
• Settled

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.

BMP movements can be categorized into the following Movement Categories: 

BMP parameters will only be available POST Activity.

How to set up BMP? 

The Basketball Movement module must be applied to your account and will be available in August of 2023. If you want to add the module please contact support for assistance.
