The long-term opportunity is to help clubs understand not only when and where athletes are being hit, but how repeated impact may relate to performance, recovery and athlete availability over time. With future sensor-enabled protection, clubs could gain insight into:
Our research aims to investigate how protective equipment, impact exposure and athlete response are connected — and whether reducing transmitted force can support better recovery, greater athlete availability and potentially reduce the severity or incidence of impact-related injury.
We are looking for clubs and sporting organisations to become research and development partners.
Helping us test the technology in real environments, build meaningful athlete datasets and shape the tools clubs actually need.
