Sport technology company Catapult Group International (CAT) has launched an all-in-one advanced video and data analytics platform for high-performance athletes and teams.
The company said the new platform was an integration of two of its most powerful performance management software packages, the MatchTracker video analysis platform and its Vector wearables system.
Catapult said the integration furthers its vision to provide elite organisations with an all-in-one video and data analysis platform and builds on its existing video capability gained through its acquisition of SBG Sports Software in June last year.
CEO Will Lopes said the enhanced MatchTracker platform would “unleash” new insights for sports coaches as its advanced functionality streamlined workflows and enabled a more comprehensive analysis of athletes’ performances.
“For the first time ever teams will have the ability to quantify and visualise new
aspects of game planning that were previously isolated in silos within their teams,” he said.
“This saves coaches critical time and empowers them with insights they’ve never had before.
“I can’t wait to see what teams around the world are able to achieve with this technology.”
The new platform was currently available to soccer and rugby teams and Catapult plans to roll it out to other sports such as gridiron football, basketball and ice hockey over the next 12 months.
CAT shares were trading 1.55 per cent lower at $1.27 at 11:59 am AEST.
