Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To prevent soft-tissue injuries (hamstring tears), teams mandate the use of GPS vests containing accelerometers and gyroscopes. The system tracks 'Player Load' (distance, sprint efforts, deceleration force) in real-time. High-performance managers use this data to pull players from training before they enter the 'red zone' of injury risk.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The industry standard for athletic preservation. It transformed conditioning from 'run until you drop' to precise dosage. The ROI is immediate: fewer games missed by star players due to preventable strain injuries."

warning The Challenge

Soft-tissue injuries are the primary cause of missed games in field sports. Coaches traditionally relied on intuition to judge player fatigue, often over-training athletes. There was no objective metric to quantify the mechanical load on a player's body.

psychology The Solution

Players wear a small pod between their shoulder blades. It samples movement at 10Hz+. The software calculates proprietary metrics (PlayerLoad™) to quantify volume and intensity. Live feeds to an iPad allow coaches to monitor loads during the session.
