TRAINING & SAFETY
Use ET as a coach's second pair of eyes - not a medical diagnosis.
Before you start
- Choose a clear, stable training area and keep the phone/tripod outside your movement path.
- Use an exercise and load you can perform safely. Use racks, safety arms, collars, spotters and protective equipment where appropriate.
- Warm up appropriately for the activity and your own training status.
- If a clinician has given you restrictions, follow those restrictions rather than an ET coaching cue.
Stop and seek appropriate help when needed
Stop the session if you experience significant or unusual pain, dizziness, faintness, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, neurological symptoms, loss of control, or another symptom that concerns you. ET cannot assess whether continuing exercise is medically safe.
What ET can do
ET can estimate visible movement characteristics and highlight patterns that may be useful for training - for example, knee bend, torso position, rep timing, a fixed-camera sprint section or rep-to-rep change.
What ET cannot do
ET does not diagnose injury, measure tissue damage, determine pain cause, clear you to return to sport, prescribe rehabilitation, replace a force plate/timing gate/radar system, or guarantee that a movement is safe because the score is high. Selected movements may show an experimental Force Estimate β; this is not a direct measurement of true ground-reaction force and must not be treated as clinical or laboratory data.
Understanding scores and personal baselines
A rep-quality score is a coaching summary, not a health score and not a universal definition of “perfect form”. People can perform the same movement differently because of body proportions, mobility, training purpose and coaching approach. ET uses movement-specific reference logic and, as usable history builds, also shows change against your own recent movement baseline. A lower score does not prove injury or danger; a higher score does not prove an exercise is risk-free.
Camera set-up matters
- Handstand / calisthenics: place the phone outside the fall zone and keep hands, shoulders, hips and feet visible. Smart Capture only changes video review; it does not make an inversion safe.
- Squat: fixed side-on camera, roughly hip height, full body and feet visible. Portrait or landscape is fine.
- Sprint timing: fixed camera, known measured section and start/finish points visible. Use Mechanics mode for drone/follow-camera footage.
- Shooting: fixed camera with the athlete and striking leg fully visible; landscape usually gives more room.
Coaches and PTs
Review ET's output before acting on it. Use your professional judgement, work within your qualification/scope, and obtain consent before recording clients. ET should support - not automate away - responsible coaching.
Optional injury context
Entering an injury/restriction can make coaching wording more cautious, but ET does not verify the information or turn it into medical advice. Do not enter more sensitive information than is useful for your training purpose.
