Precision-SSS (Sports Science System) has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their wearable Electronic Performance & Tracking System (EPTS). The technology was created at the European Space Agency (ESA) with aims to improve athletic performance. Athletes are continually pushed to their limit of physical capacity and this technology enables users to continue to do so without the risk of injuries.
The system focuses on biomechanical fatigue and deterioration of performance. The platform places emphasis on three main components: prevention, preparation, and performance. The technology shows if a player is at risk of an injury by showing fatigue in one leg versus the other. It allows coaches to understand how the players are preparing for their games with their individualized data. The data also allows players and coaches to ensure the proper rehabilitation after a game to prevent further injury. All of these features allow the technology to individualize the data for each user so athletes everywhere can have their very own sports science sports team without the extra fee or requirement to be on a professional team.
Along with Precision-SSS comes PrecisionNET. PrecisionNET has two features. First, the machine-learning A.I. is designed to build a “Predictive Injury & Performance Model”. It does this with capturing the data of all the users and combining it to a larger sample. The sample then allows the support team to find trends to relay back to the individual users. Second, PrecisionNET provides each user with a Sports Science Support Team. A team of biomechanists, physiologist and data analysts that are actually analyzing and interpreting the data to help each user.
Precision-SSS places the emphasis on their technology promoting actual sports science data. Other fitness wearables just tell users what they have done. Most users do not do not analyze this data too much as they lack the resources. The Precision-SSS provides predictive and prescriptive data. This means athletes and users can finally understand what injuries they are susceptible to and how they can prevent them.
Many professional athletes are endorsing the product and hope that non-professional users appreciate the benefits of this technology. Siem De Jong, Newcastle United FC Midfielder comments: “The sports science support I have at my club has been exceptional and critical in helping me return back from my injuries. I’m grateful to have access to such support, but I’m aware there are many players out there, young players, who suffer serious injuries, and are not at clubs to provide for them the kind of support I got. With the Precision-SSS, it means many of these young players can have the type of sports science support I get.”
