# Alogo Live
Very high precision statistics service for equestrian performances, available in live. Alogo Live also provides a technology allowing the video overlay of 2 different riders, never seen before in the world of equestrian sports. This service is proposed to show organizers (including the CHI Geneva) who would like to bring an added value to their public, officials and riders in terms of animation, analysis and understanding of the competition.
# Alogo Move Pro
Equine sensor with an unmatched precision (data collected accurate to the nearest cm and °!), intended for any rider wishing to concretely measure its performances (at training as well as in competition) in order to progress and/or improve its horses.
# Amplitude
The length, the distance on the ground travelled during a stride or a jump. Our Alogo Move Pro sensor calculates the amplitude of each jump and stride to the nearest centimeter, and at any gait! The sensor is composed of high precision algorithms capable of detecting each phase of a stride or a jump according to the gait and thus detect its length.
# B
# Balance
# Lateral balance
Average lateral angle (roll) at each stride (on the flat) or from take-off to landing (at the obstacle). It allows you to detect if your horse is leaning to one side or the other. (Left/Right)
# Longitudinal balance
It is the horizontal balance of the horse, i.e. the distribution of weight between the front and the hindquarters. (Horse on the shoulders VS on the hips)
# Vertical balance
The propulsion in height which intervenes in the verticality of the gait. Alogo Move Pro calculates these different balances in degrees as well as the height of each stride in cm, at all gaits thanks to its integrated technology that detects every variation, even the smallest.
# Rider balance
Placement and distribution of the weight of the rider's body on its horse. Please note that a lack of balance of the rider can affect the balance data of the horse.
# Bounce
The bounce represents the vertical displacement of the horse's body with each stride - the height of its gait - relative to the ground. It is determined in cm by the inertial central of our sensor at walk, trot and canter.
# C
# Cadence (or Pace)
Defines the "rhythm" of hoof placement in a given period of time. The more steps a horse takes during this period, the higher its rhythm will be, but this does not mean that it will go faster. Indeed, amplitude and speed are independent data of the cadence. Alogo Move Pro calculates the number of strides per minute for each gait.
# D
# Duration of a session
Time between the start of the recording and its stop. (Green LED blinking)
# Distance travelled
Length (in km or miles) of the trace made during a session. (Only available for outdoor sessions).
# E
# Energy
Calculated in Watts but converted into Kcal. It allows you to quickly evaluate the physical condition of a horse. It is an excellent indicator to analyze on which configuration of jumps, courses or ground a horse has been put to the effort in a more or less pronounced way.
# G
# General dashboard
You will find an average of all your statistics recorded during all your sessions on your personal dashboard in our WebApp. Different filters allow you to establish these general statistics according to a specific horse or rider for example.
# GPS
Global Positioning System. Powerful technology that helps define the exact path of your session by our sensor.
# H
# Height
# of the jumps
Measurement of the trajectory of the jump at its highest point. It is then the distance between the sensor to the ground.
# of strides
Measurement of the size of the strides vertically to the ground (in cm). This is the difference between the height of the sensor when the horse is at its lowest compared to the height it gains above the ground during its movement.

# Irregularities detection - HorseTrack Project
HorseTrack is a project supported by Innosuisse, which is being developed jointly by Alogo Analysis SA, TaM laboratory of the University of Geneva and Dr. Stéphane Montavon, Chief Veterinary Officer of the Swiss Army.
The aim of the project is to combine the high-precision data from the Alogo Move Pro sensor, a tool available for riders to analyze and improve the performance of their horses, with the so-called « deep learning » technique to detect the first signs of irregularities in the horse's movement. It will then be possible to alert the rider of a possible injury and the nature of the injury before it occurs, which will improve the horse's well-being and limit veterinary costs.
This project brings together the know-how of three partners with complementary skills. The result will be directly integrated into the Swiss technology of the Alogo Move Pro sensor, in order to offer a unique and very high quality injury detection solution to its users.
# J
# Jump
Propulsion movement in the air of the horse over an obstacle. The Alogo Move Pro algorithm knows precisely the movement made to the jump and then detects the exact number of jumps made during a session, regardless of the horse's jumping technique or the height of the jumps made.
# P
# Propulsion
The force deployed by the horse to move, forward or upward. The propulsion force is measured by our sensor is in G (= gé), it is specific to each horse and depends on its strength (natural or muscular). The propulsion also plays a role in the height of your strides and jumps.
# R
# Similarity score
# Jump similarity score
The Jump similarity score (in %) is defined by how well your jump paths are repeated with each other. The more similar they are, the higher your score is. This score is really significant on jumps of the same height (of every profiles) since a parabola on a 1m jump is not the same as on a 1m40 one. Jumps with extreme values are not taken into account and considered as "stood out".
# Stride similarity score
The stride similarity score (in %) evaluates how well your horse's strides (in all three gaits) are repeated during a session. The more similar the stride trajectories of the same gait are, the higher your regularity score will be. The stride before and after a jump are not taken into account as they are considered as special due to their data impacted by the jump striking and landing.
# Reins (left / right)
Direction of movement of the horse.
# S
# Speed
# Instant speed
Recorded at a specific point in a session (stride or jump). (In m/min)
# Maximum speed
The fastest speed recorded during a session. (In m/min)
# Stride
Alogo Move Pro is placed under the girth, at the point closest to the horse's center of mass. The sensor records the complete trajectory of all strides and at each gait. Each gait causes the sensor to make a singular movement which it categorizes according to its specific shape as « standing", « walking", "trot" or "canter". Each cycle of this movement thus establishes a stride in the gait concerned.
# Strike power
# Stride strike power
Measured in G (= “ge”). It defines the average acceleration on the Z axis of your horse's strides at each gait. For a classic sport horse cantering, the value of the stride strike power is about 2 G.
# Jump Strike Power
Measured in G (= “ge”), it is your horse’s propulsion in the air above a jump. For an 1m20 oxer jump and a “classic” sporthorse is usually around 5 G.
# Stood Out Jump
Alogo Move Pro highlights the jump that differs the most from all the other jumps you have made. It could be a jump with a particular approach (too close, too far away) that would have impacted the horse's jumping trajectory or an excellent jump that would have superior data to the others!
We also show you the difference in duration of the ascending phase between the unusual jump (Curve in purple in the app) and your other jumps on average (Curve in gray in the app).
# T
# Max. Take-off angle
It refers to the maximum angle of the jump's trajectory in relation to the ground. Generally the higher it is, the closer the horse started its jump to the obstacle and vice versa. It is on average between 20 and 45°.
# Time
# Moving Time
Total time during which a movement was recorded by the Move Pro.
# Time spent at each gaits
Distribution of the time spent at each gait during the same recording session.
# Trajectory
For a stride, this angle will help you to determine to the nearest degree if the longitudinal balance of your horse is correct. 0° means that the horse's balance is parallel to the ground. A positive value indicates an upright balance on the hind hand while a negative value indicates a plunging balance on the fore hand.
# Jump & Stride Trajectory
Shape of the curve on the Z-axis in space during a jump or/and a stride. This trajectory is specific to each horse and varies according to the approach, technique and strength of the horse as well as the height of the obstacle. Our sensor will show you all the curves of your jumps. You will then be able to compare them to each other and note your progress or observe the evolution of your horse's jumping techniques.
# Transition
Change from one pace to another or change of pace within the same gait. Alogo Move Pro will establish on your WebApp a personalized graph of the distribution of gaits during a session. You will also be able to observe all the other parameters inherent to the transitions between and within gaits.
