Combined with Capapult’s ClearSky Local Positioning System, the Vector T7 empowers teams to leverage new player performance insights, mitigate injury risk, and make live in-game decisions.
Developed with the needs of basketball teams in mind, Vector T7 sets a new standard for athlete monitoring in indoor environments, including men’s and women’s basketball as well as volleyball. The combination of the Vector T7 and ClearSky equips teams with:
- Basketball Movement Profile: Coaching and training staffs can get a more detailed picture of the demands being placed on their players with specific analytics that report the unique and critical movements of basketball.
- Improved Compliance: With a smaller and lighter device, athletes now have the option of wearing the device on the waist.
- New Live Tracking: Live tracking combined with the integration of live mobile applications allow coaches to look at player performances in real time on any device.
- Increased Accuracy and Connectivity: New positional and inertial sensors are optimized with new player metrics and allow for integration of additional data such as heart rate, physiological, mouthguard, and EMG.
- Wireless and Portable Communication: Users can now transfer data wirelessly with the new portable docking station and access positional data from the ClearSky system without post-event downloads.
In addition to innovations to the Vector device, Catapult has engineered the Basketball Movement Profile, which quantifies and categorizes every type of basketball movement on the court to help coaches make better decisions for their athletes and identify the causes of performance strain with more accuracy. It uses the inertial sensors inside the Vector T7 devices to provide absolute and relative time spent in five movement categories:
- Dynamic - Turning and change of direction movements
- Running - Steady jogging/running movements
- Active - Walking movements
- Settled - Standing
- Jumping - Jumping movements
