Tracking systems
GSP tracking devices such as the Viper pods used by STATSports will track player movements, distance travelled, speed, and heart rate during training and matches.
Heart Rate Monitors – These are wearable sensors that track heart rate variability and levels of exertion and help with training-load management.
Force Plates: These are platforms that measure ground reaction forces while performing movements such as jumping. They provide data on balance and power.
Timing gates: Devices used to measure sprint velocities and agility (they record times over known distances)
Isokinetic Dynamometers — Consist of devices that assess strength and imbalances of muscles based on controlling the speed of movement when performing exercises with a resistance load.
Body Composition Analyzers — DEXA scans or bioelectrical impedance analyzers can determine body fat percentage, lean mass, etc., and bone density.
Video Analysis Software: Tools which helps to analyze player movement, technique and tactical decisions.
Blood lactate analyzers The blood lactate analyzers are portable devices. They measure the lactate concentration in the blood, which can indicate an athletes anaerobic threshold and endurance capacity.
Infrared cameras show heat patterns which can indicate an area of inflammation or possible injury.
Training Aids: Will include training tools like cryotherapy chambers, compression garments, and massage devices.
Agility and Reaction Trainers: Tools such as agility ladders and reaction lights provide quickness and decision-making.
Respiratory Gas Analyzers – Devices that measure VO₂ max consumption and overall metabolic rates when performing exercises.
Jump Mats — Portable mats to measure the vertical displacement and time spent in the air during jumps to evaluate explosive power.
Hydration testing tools such as urine specific gravity or % hydration by sweat analysis
Sleep Tracking Devices: Devices that monitor sleep patterns such as wearables or apps that can help with recovery and general optimization.
