1 Fitness Monitor key variables like high intensity efforts, heart rate parameters or accelerations. Automatically generate your key reports. Customise target zones for each player.

2  Rehabilitation Limit efforts, max velocity, or heart rate during recovery using real time software alarms. Tactical and Game Analysis 3  See 2D animations of team play in Real Time for instant feedback to coaches and players. Generate tactical plots showing major efforts and heat mapsof eld position over time. Technique Analysis 4  Synchronise detailed acceleration or velocity traces with video to analyse every moment of your stroke, swing, or gait.

accurately & routinely

 technology combines 11 sensors in a small wearable electronics device for tracking and monitoring elite athletes. Developed in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Sport, minimaxX is now used in more than 20 sports at the elite level for tness, tactical, rehabilitation and technical analysis.

Player 1

Wearable unit
> Lightweight rugged package > Proven in contact sports

GPS Satellites
> Fast 10Hz GPS > Enhanced with inertial sensors correction

Player 2

Real time data

> Up to 100 players for simultaneous tracking > Individualise zones and performance targets

 Strength, Conditioning and Rehabilitation > Fast GPS With 10 Hertz GPS sampling minimaxX is uniquely able to identify short high intensity efforts that characterise team sports.

> Impact analysis and tackle identication and measurement for heavy impact sports like Rugby > Player Interchange management - f or sports which allow rolling substitutions the live wireless data will give coaches information on players to determine substitutions. Advanced Software Features

> Customised pitch or grounds les based on real GPS coordinates. > Advanced multiaxis graphing: 4 graphs with 4 variables per graphs and up to 2 axis. > Synchronise video footage with scrolling graphs of accelerometers, velocity, turn rates and more. > Data export functionality: Using Microsoft clipboard or csv le. Filtering: > Improve GPS accuracy with inertial sensor data, add numerical lters to data streams to isolate frequencies of interest. > Simultaneous charge and upload

Fast GPS means more accurate distance, speed, position and accelerations. GPS performance is radically improved to Automatic reports > capture not just cumulative information The software allows you to generate over multiple efforts, but precise data on immediate reports from wireless data for short individual sprints even when they immediate feedback to coaches and include multiple direction changes. It players or set up the software to also helps make the system resistant to download all the unit s and produce typical transient GPS errors. An erroneous custom designed reports automatically data point is more easily ltered out from saving a lot of time. multiple measurements. > Player and team database. Standard GPS measures only once per second making it inadequate to measure athletic movements > Velocity - measured in metres per second or km/hour > Distance - total distance plus a breakdown of distance within different 8 different speed thresholds ie high intensity distance covered etc > Acceleration - accelerations can be banded into 8 different zones as with velocity and heart rate Player load > Using only accelerometers, player load gives you a metric for effort that works even for non running activities like tackles, and in non GPS environments. Available in 3D, 2D and slow load. Orientation > Separate running into forwards, backwards and sideways. In sports like football, a defender can spend 30% of his movement in a match going backwards. > Heart rate - 8 different heart rate zones allow you to look at time spent in each zone and also the heart rate exertion score for each drill.

Athletes true path GPS reading

Standard 1Hz GPS devices record position once per second, giving only an approximation of the athletes movements

minimaxx 5Hz GPS gives more accurate position, speed and performance data

minimaxx 10Hz GPS gives even more accurate position, speed and performance data ensuring that smaller, ne movements are picked up

Customise reports with club logo, player and session information Periodise training into multiple drills

Summarise velocity and acceleration efforts, HR, Player load, work rate and more for each drill

Strategic snapshot of session

Break down movement into velocity bands, Count efforts, measure average effort length

Detailed Heart Rate band analysis

Analyse recovery times during games so you can design training drills to match

 Tactical Analysis > Traditional video based systems are xed installations that deliver match analysis hours or days after the event. minimaxX can provide real time 2 dimensional animations of the whole game. The system is completely portable use it on all your training pitches, pre season camps or away games. > Replay a passage of play from 10 seconds ago, 5 minutes ago or 2 weeks ago. > Use it to communicate tactical strategies to players and coaching staff in real time. minimaxX uniquely offers a tool for both > tness and tactical departments within your team. > Synchronise GPS animations with video. Export GPS animations as a video source > for 3rd party software analysis. > Integrate with Statistics or Events lists from leading Stats Providers.

Technique Analysis Synchronise video footage with scrolling > graphs of accelerometers, velocity, turn rates and more. > For example in rowing, show how each component of the stroke contributes to boat acceleration or deceleration. Analyse reaction time, boat roll, pitch and yaw (or shtailing). Wireless/real time analysis > 200m range > Monitor up to 100 athletes simultaneously. Set simple or complex performance > targets based on Heart rate, Efforts, Distance and more. > Easily create time stamps for beginning and end of training drills or games. Automatically apply these time stamps to uploaded les.

I have used the Catapult minimaxx system for the past 4 years to provide support to Premier League football clubs.
The system provides objective feedback both live and post-event for coaches, scientists and medical staff on their activities and interventions. It allows us to better understand the balance between internal and external stresses, and make objective decisions based on individual characteristics. It is an invaluable tool to help minimise injury and maximise performance in a team sports environment. Chris Barnes Consultant Sports Scientist
