The value of wearable technology in the elite sports field, and how it is being relied on to manage athletes today

Wearable technology is a growing field worldwide, but long-term adoption is low for consumer devices as there is little ongoing value demonstrated. Wearable technology for elite sports, however, have been around for about a decade and are relied upon by coaches worldwide to help them better understand their athletes and organise trainings based on their physical output.
Catapult is the world’s leading supplier of wearable technology for elite sports. Used by over 500 of the best teams in the world, Catapult quantifies an athlete’s risk of injury, their readiness for competition, and their return to play following an injury.
