Looks uncomfortable to me, but what do I know?

Quote:The Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will all use global positioning (GPS) and local positioning (LPS) technology to help optimize performance and reduce injury risk among their athletes in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Signalling Catapult’s continued growth at the highest level of American football, the agreements with these five franchises take the number of NFL teams using our technology to 19.

As well as delivering standard GPS/LPS-derived volume and intensity measures, Catapult has invested heavily in the development of metrics specific to American Football. By combining inertial sensor data with positional information, our elite wearable technology is able to provide unique measurements that highlight the specific positional demands of the sport.

They scared of these guys disappearing or something?

Quote:Optimize Performance: Prepare for the demands of football by managing workloads and monitoring player development.

Mitigate Injury Risk: Know when to keep pushing and when to back off. Quantify training programs and monitor the loading of your athletes to reduce the risk of preventable injuries.

Support Return To Play: Objectively manage the rehabilitation process through performance benchmarking and robust return to play protocols.

Quote:Quarterback Metrics: Quantify and manage quarterback workloads with metrics including Throw Count, Contact Load and Total Load.

Quote:Linemen Metrics: Build a detailed picture of the demands being placed on your linemen with Contact, Contact Load, Total Load, Contact Load % and Load per Contact metrics.

Catapult also claims it can reduce injury risk and help with rehab as well.  I'm not sure how but this is what they claim:


And as for QBs here is what they say:


And I found this one interesting about linemen:


If it works like they claim it seems like some pretty high tech stuff.  I wonder if Mike Brown placed his order for that equipment via his fax machine.  . Of course I'm just joking about that.  It seems pretty cool to me that they are using technology like that.  I hope it pays off, especially the part about reducing the risk of  injuries given the last few years.
