As an athlete or sportsperson how much do you actually know about your performance? When you take to a track for example, pull on your spikes and pull out your stopwatch, what are you actually learning?
Every athlete is looking to understand HOW to improve their performance. There are many variables that affect performanceâ¦time of day, diet, state of mind, weather conditions etc. However, KNOWING what impacts performance can be very powerful.
SMARTracks, developed by German company Humotion GmbH, is a powerful performance diagnostics tool that can provide real time, accurate data on athlete speed, endurance, agility, and force. Through the use of in or above ground magnetic gates, athletes can measure and record time, speed, jump height, step count, cadence and more at intervals of 5m or more. This enables coaches and athletes to track and analyse performance data over a period of time to identify trends, weaknesses and opportunities, test variables, and ultimately help athletes to train SMARTER.
Today we had the pleasure of kicking off a series of national demonstrations of the SMARTrack system at Sandringham Athletic Club. Polytan recently completed the resurfacing of the track in 2021 which included the installation of in-built magnetic gates around the track.
The intimate demonstration with officials from several Melbourne athletics clubs was hosted by Katharina Breuker from Humotion and Alexander Wörz from Sport Group, both from Germany. Whilst many of them where aware of the tool, they were unaware just how effective and easy the system was to use.
Big and little athletes delighted in the opportunity to learn more about SMARTracks and trial it with the use of their own smart phones. Once they completed their run they were able to view and dissect their performance results immediately on their phone. Results can also be viewed online and shared with others.
Weâre looking forward to seeing some impressive SMARTrack performance results from the athletes at Sandringham Athletics Club over the coming months!
