Looks like the Bengals and a few other teams started using it last year and apparently more were using it before: https://www.catapultsports.com/blog/catapult-signs-five-nfl-franchises-ahead-of-2019-season 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. As for comfort it doesn't look that bad to me but I don't know either. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Sure like seeing Burrow throwing to AJ and sure liked what Lap, Hoard and even Hobspin had to say.
Getting excited man, could be a great year for all of us unlike the first half. Thanks for the vids Holic, and yeah the sports bra thingies are weird alright. Don't even know what that is about even after reading what George said. Still wondering why? They scared of these guys disappearing or something?

From what I can understand, which isn't much, it appears it tracks location data as well as other stuff like physiological data. Perhaps heart rate and things like that. I suppose the location info could be used to track if the player was in the proper position during plays, running the right route and so forth. That seems like something coaches could figure out just from watching. But I'm guessing there is some fancy computer stuff and data analysis going on that makes it worth using. 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: Quote:Optimize Performance: Prepare for the demands of football by managing workloads and monitoring player development. And as for QBs here is what they say: Quote:Quarterback Metrics: Quantify and manage quarterback workloads with metrics including Throw Count, Contact Load and Total Load. And I found this one interesting about linemen: 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. 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. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Wonder what a guy like Tim Krumrie would think about this. Remembered he would carry and work out with a Smithies Iron. Dude was nuts. Krumrie rocks.

It's also used for contact tracing of sorts. If someone is stationary within 6 feet of someone else who is stationary for certain time period, it gives alert. I caught someone talking about it on the NFL radio the other day.

Basically they track speed, distance etc, when paired with a heart monitor they can be used to monitor effort levels and training loads. Our players where them in games as well and some of the data has been allowed to be used in tv broadcasts. It allows you to see how often players are at max speed, jogging and walking etc. It really is quite interesting data, comparing game and training data allows you to tailor training to match game scenarios etc.

That seems like something coaches could figure out just from watching. But I'm guessing there is some fancy computer stuff and data analysis going on that makes it worth using. It is really used in analysing training, what % of time players were moving at different speeds etc. The injury prevention is through being able to measure and plot training loads, you can compare it day to day and monitor the time, distance and intensity of training. If a player has spent a larger % of time at top speed and under fatigue a coach may decide to ease up on the training of that player or athlete to prevent injury for example. I've used them so I am happy to answer if you have any questions. They also measure acceleration and deceleration so can be used to measure gforce impacts. It is also not technically GPS as they use sensors they install at the stadium and not satellites but it works on the same principles.

The rectangle at the top of this jersey is actually a gps stitched into the jersey.
