⥠Pose Detection
â Fitness
JUMP JACKS 5000 â
A webcam-based jumping jack assessment tool that uses pose detection to count reps and score form quality in real time. Students perform 10 seconds of jumping jacks while the tool automatically tracks every rep â detecting whether arms are high, feet are wide, and the whole movement is coordinated. A live rep counter, instant form feedback, and slow-motion replay make it a perfect self-managed fitness station.

Rep-Based Scoring â Different From the Other Tools
Unlike SET IT 5000 and THROW IT 5000 which score a single skill attempt, JUMP JACKS 5000 scores every rep across a 10-second window. The result shows Good Reps out of Total Reps (e.g. 8/10) with a percentage â so students can see not just how many they did, but how many they did well. This makes it ideal as a fitness station where students can try to beat their own score.
What Gets Assessed
Each rep is split into two phases â the tool must confirm both before counting it as a completed repetition
Arms Overhead
Both wrists must reach clearly above the nose â not just shoulder height.
Wrist Y vs Nose Y
Arms Wide
Both wrists must extend out beyond the shoulders â not just raised straight up.
Wrist X vs Shoulder X
Feet Wide
Ankle span must reach at least shoulder width â no tiny hops with feet barely apart.
Ankle Span vs Shoulder Span
Arms Down
Both wrists must return to hip level â completing the full range of motion.
Wrist Y vs Hip Y
Feet Together
Both ankles must return close together â not staying wide between reps.
Ankle X Distance
Each phase requires several consecutive frames to confirm â a partial movement or stumble won’t accidentally count as a rep.
What Students See Live
Real-time feedback keeps students engaged and self-correcting throughout the 10 seconds
Live Rep Counter
A large good-rep count displays on the video feed, updating after every completed rep so students can track their score in the moment.
Instant Form Flash
After each rep, a â GREAT! or â FIX FORM flashes on screen â immediate feedback without stopping the set.
Rep History Dots
The side panel fills with green â and pink â dots â one per rep â so students and teachers can see the pattern at a glance after the set.
Countdown Timer Bar
A bar along the bottom of the screen counts down 10 seconds, shifting from lime to yellow to pink as time runs out â students always know how long is left.
Skeleton Overlay
A full-body skeleton is drawn over the live video so students can confirm they are being detected before pressing READY.
Phase Indicator
The side panel shows whether the tool is waiting for the UP or DOWN phase â useful for teachers watching from the side to understand what the tool is tracking.
Setup Guide
Works great as a self-managed station â students can run it independently once set up
Position Your Device
Place a laptop or tablet on a table or chair at roughly hip height. The camera needs a clear front-on view of the student from head to toe â the full arm swing and foot spread must both be visible. Leave enough space on either side for the arms to reach out wide.
ðĄ Landscape orientation only
Wait for Pose Engine & Check the Skeleton
After opening the tool and allowing camera access, wait for â POSE ONLINE to appear in the header. A white skeleton will appear over the student’s body confirming they are being detected. The READY button unlocks automatically.
ðĄ First load takes ~10â15 seconds
Student Gets in Starting Position
The student stands on the foot guide shown on screen, facing the camera with feet together and arms at their sides. Their full body from feet to raised hands must be visible â this is the starting position for a jumping jack.
ðĄ 6â8 feet from camera works well for most students
Press READY & Go on Cue
Press the READY button to start the 3-2-1 countdown. On GO! the student begins jumping jacks. The tool records and analyses 10 seconds of movement, updating the rep counter and form feedback after every completed rep.
ðĄ Students can press READY themselves once they know the routine
Review the Replay & Rep History
After 10 seconds the video plays back at 50% speed automatically. The side panel shows the final good rep count, total reps, and a dot for every rep. Students can use the history dots to identify where form broke down â typically the last few reps as they tire.
ðĄ Press TRY AGAIN to immediately attempt another set and try to beat the score
Scoring & Ratings
Rated by percentage of good-form reps out of total reps completed
ðĄ Teacher Tips
- ð Run as a self-managed station â once students know the routine they can press READY, perform their set, watch the replay, and rotate to the next station without teacher involvement
- ðš Connect to a TV or large monitor so the group can watch the slow-motion replay together â use the rep history dots to discuss where form broke down
- ð Use it as a personal best challenge â students record their good rep score and try to improve it across the unit, making it a simple built-in fitness benchmark
- ðĒ Remind students that the goal is good reps, not just fast reps â rushing tends to drop form and actually reduces their score
- ð Students need enough space on either side to fully extend their arms â check the skeleton overlay confirms both wrists are visible at full reach before starting
- âïļ Avoid direct sunlight behind the student â consistent, even lighting gives the pose engine the best chance of tracking the full arm and leg movement accurately
- ð Keep the device plugged in â pose detection is CPU intensive and will drain battery quickly during a full lesson
