Product Information

Traditionally, soccer performance analysis relied heavily on video footage, but with today’s innovations, players can now get an in-depth analysis of their performance using all kinds of gadgets designed to track the most relevant game metrics. Compare your performance against your teammates and see how you rank against the Pros with the all-new Pro Score comparisons. Are GPS vests helpful for football players who aren’t professional athletes but just want to take their game to the next level?

The information they record allows backroom staff to judge a player’s performance objectively, rather than relying on subjective assessments that can be flawed and biassed.

The black vests which hold them in place have become a common sight on training grounds up and down the country, and the pods can be worn during matches, too. Again, the data is broken down into five-minute segments, while another map shows exactly where each power movement was performed. Four of them are worn on the calf (near the knee and usually at the back of the calf) and the other three at worn at the feet (either inside the soccer boot or attached to the soccer boot). These two bits of technology measure data to the accuracy of 10 points per second providing information on distance traveled and heart rate. That means basic things like distance covered and running speed, but also more in-depth metrics we have developed such as step balance and stress loads, really intricate details on performance, fitness and well-being.

The players were selected partly on how well they’d scored when using the Arsenal edition of the STATsports vest and app. Lastly, for coaches who are interested in the team option, there does not seem to be a standard package and interested parties are asked to contact Oliver for more information.Physical metrics, like distance covered, top speed, sprint distance, and sprint count, are common to both devices and help players, trainers, coaches, and parents plan training loads and build fitness routines that enhance performance outputs based on objective data and performance trends. Consider which metrics you want to measure and your individual goals, and review the above chart to get a sense of which device best fits your development plan. Gpexe are a leading Italian creator of GPS technology, providing their vests to top Serie A teams such as Inter, as well as the Championship team Watford who have Italian ownership. Involvement – number of touches (contact with the ball), ball releases (kicks/shots/passes) and possessions (had control of the ball).

As mentioned, there are 2 main types of sensors: there are the ones worn on the calf and those worn at the feet. In conclusion, Playermaker soccer trackers stand out as a superior choice over GPS vests due to their soccer-specific insights, comfort, and indoor usability. Deciding to invest in a soccer tracker can be a beneficial investment for players who are motivated to outperform their competitors and level up their game in a data-driven way. For a number of years, SønderjyskE have used Stats Perform’s wearables system to live monitor the physical performance of first-team players.Recording the data in this way also allows an analyst to quickly spot if there’s a problem with one of the GPS vests that is preventing it from working. At lower levels, where there are a limited number of cameras, GPS data about distance covered and sprint speed can help an analyst to objectively judge how hard the players are working. From individual player development to team-wide tactical advancements, Catapult Pro Video is the essential tool for unlocking superior football intelligence and performance insights.

Most footballer/soccer players wear a sports vest either on top of their training gear or underneath (You sometimes notice a slight outline on the top of their back). As mentioned, it is similar to other soccer apps like DribbleUp or BALLN (previously known as Get Metrix).I’m 33, and though at 6ft 3in and 13 stone I may look a bit like a footballer, it’s fair to say I’m lagging behind a bit in the fitness stakes. Coaching staff then use the live stats to monitor performance, allowing them to compile reports and make informed decisions on what players should and shouldn't be doing on the pitch. Comfortable Placement: Some players (ladies, looking at you) may find the placement of GPS vests uncomfortable.
