Oxford United are excited to announce they have extended their partnership with the global performance technology leaders, Catapult Sports until 2025.
Catapult’s wearable technology and performance analysis solutions provide comprehensive data and insights that enable teams to make high-quality, informed decisions faster than ever before.
Operating at the intersection of sports science and analytics, Catapult solutions are designed to optimise performance, mitigate injury risk, and support the return to training and competition.
The most powerful dual GPS/LPS wearable devices available are a key piece of equipment supplied to the club. Catapult Vector delivers live algorithms, performance insights and functionality to coaches and athletes.
These real-time insights give coaches an objective view of player performance with physical metrics such as high intensity distance, maximal velocity, accelerations, changes of direction and heart rate.
With this data and insights, performance staff can make better informed decisions faster than ever before, about their players' performance and rehabilitation.
Director of Performance at the club, Chris Neville told us
“We are delighted to extend our relationship with Catapult. In addition to our senior men and academy teams, Catapult are also supplying tracking systems to our women’s teams, which enables us to be consistent in the way we use the data across all our pathways.
“As a premium tracking product in professional football, this technology continues to provide us with another layer of information in our support for our players, management and performance teams.”
