French Athletics Federation x Ochy: Democratizing Running Analysis for Athletics Clubs Across France

A Shared Vision to Modernize Athletics

Ochy and the French Athletics Federation (FFA) share a common mission: to provide runners with the best tools to improve sustainably. This shared vision led to the official partnership established in late 2023, integrating Ochy’s tech into the FFA’s digital ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, affiliated clubs gain preferential access to Ochy’s biomechanical analysis technology, enabling widespread adoption across regional and local structures.

How the FFA x Ochy Partnership Works

Ochy provides an exclusive offer tailored to FFA-affiliated clubs, allowing them to benefit from privileged access to our technology. At the same time, the FFA plays an active role in promoting and implementing the tool on the ground.

Together, FFA and Ochy are committed to:

  • 💡 Hosting training webinars for clubs
  • 🏃‍♀️ Participating in major national running events with Ochy visibility
  • 🧑‍🏫 Conducting on-site testing sessions at clubs, followed by custom insights reports
  • 🧪 Using anonymized data to better understand running practices across France

Why This Matters for Clubs

Traditionally reserved for elite labs or pro teams, gait analysis is now available to all levels — using just a smartphone.

Thanks to this partnership, affiliated clubs can:

  • ✅ Track athlete progress over time
  • ✅ Identify posture imbalances or injury risks
  • ✅ Adjust training plans based on objective data
  • ✅ Engage runners in a proactive performance and wellbeing journey

Integrated Into the FFA’s Broader Initiatives

Ochy’s analysis technology is also part of the FFA’s Work Athlé program — a sport and wellness initiative for companies. This expands the impact of the partnership beyond the track, supporting workplace wellbeing and injury prevention.

A French Innovation Trusted by Top Institutions

Founded by a team combining scientific expertise and real-world athletic experience, Ochy is now trusted by major organizations like Adidas, England Athletics, and of course, the FFA. Our app is built on more than 200 scientific studies and is fast becoming the reference for accessible biomechanical testing.
