The performance of dragon boat crews and individual paddlers relies heavily on measurement with advanced tools and processing. What are we measuring and what is the benchmark we are seeking to achieve? This section of Dragon Analytics is dedicated to this. Following are a selection of tools that will help coaches, paddlers and crews to be the best they can be.
 | The Dynamic Boat Balancer is a specialized tool designed for dragon boat coaches and managers to optimize crew seating. By analyzing individual paddler weights, preferred sides, and regional strengths, the tool automatically calculates the optimal layout to achieve both lateral balance (left vs. right weight distribution) and fore-aft trim (longitudinal balance). |

 | The Dragon Boat Performance Dashboard is a specialized analytical tool designed to help dragon boat paddlers and coaches evaluate their on-water performance. By uploading a Garmin .FIT file (a standard format for GPS and sensor data from smartwatches), the application automatically detects race segments and processes complex data to provide actionable insights. |
