Fünf Vorteile des Einsatzes von Player-Tracking-Systemen für die sportliche Leistung
Player tracking in sports is the use of advanced technology to monitor and record the movements and actions of athletes during a game or training session. The data collected with the help of player tracking systems has numerous benefits for teams, coaches and players. Here are five of them.
The data and analysis that player tracking provides can provide insight into the effectiveness of a workout or whether your athletes are improving over time. The tracking data collected during training can also be used as part of athletic performance diagnostics. This procedure is referred to as “in-situ testing” and is just one of the many advantages of KINEXON sports technology.
Die Vorteile von Player Tracking
Some of the benefits of player tracking include:
- logistics
- flexibility
- real conditions
- return to the game
- scouting
To understand them better, let’s take a closer look at the benefits they can offer you and your staff in each sport.
Logistics
No additional equipment is required other than the installed system. In addition, no additional space and no preparation time is required — the diagnostics take place automatically during a training session. During a regular training session, all exercises relevant for diagnostics can be filtered out.
Additional Pro: No additional burden on players and staff when performing performance diagnostics.
flexibility
With KINEXON it is possible to analyze many different sport-specific exercises in different sports: jumps in handball , running performance in soccer and sprints in ice hockey — just to name a few examples. This happens fully automatically through the display in clear dashboards. It also allows comparison of players, positions and team values.
real conditions
Although in situ tests do not provide fully standardized data, the results collected under real conditions are much more meaningful. After all, you don’t want to know what the player can do under optimal conditions in the test lab, but how he performs on the field, on the pitch or on the lawn. You can also see whether the training is effective for an athlete or whether the performance is stagnating or even declining.
Returning to the game
It is easy to check whether a player is ready to come back from injury by comparing baseline profile data. This makes it easy to assess how far the athlete is from their personal best and which specific areas may need more training.
Scouting
The comparison of the data does not only have to be done for two training sessions of the same athlete. Profiles from in situ diagnostics can also be used in scouting to compare young players with professionals. Here the objective tracking data supports the subjective impressions of the trainers.
Overall, the player tracking technology providesvaluable insights and benefits that can significantly impact athlete performance, coaching strategies, and the overall experience for fans and stakeholders in the sports industry.
Sportliches Leistungstraining - richtig gemacht
The evaluation of the performance diagnostics with KINEXON could take place every six months or quarterly and be clearly visualized in a dashboard. In combination with, for example, health checks, questionnaires, etc., a holistic diagnostic picture is created.
In short: Sporting performance diagnostics with KINEXON PERFORM LPS means little effort and comparable performance data under real conditions.
