STRIVE x KINEXON: DUAL DATA SETS REVEALED AT THE 2022 NBA DRAFT COMBINE
Today, the relationship between STRIVE and KINEXON took another leap forward as visuals of our combined capabilities were debuted at the 2022 NBA Draft Combine. Check out examples of real dual data sets along with the dual capabilities in this blog.
DUAL CAPABILITIES
STRIVE complements KINEXON’s ultra-precise ultra wideband (UWB) technology with its world-leading electromyography (EMG) technology to measure and monitor the muscle activation of athletes’ hamstrings, glutes and quadriceps. Using EMG sensors, which are seamlessly integrated into compression shorts, STRIVE measures athletes’ muscle activity, including load, symmetry and fatigue. STRIVE muscle performance data is seamlessly integrated with the KINEXON platform for user-friendly accessibility and allows teams to monitor their athletes’ performance in all active settings: practice, conditioning, and in-game.
These insights combined with KINEXON’s industry leading global navigation satellite system (GNSS), local positioning system (LPS), and inertial measurement unit (IMU) tracking technologies, enable teams to monitor both the internal and external demands of athlete performance more precisely than ever before. As a result, teams are better equipped to understand the muscle performance and fatigue of their athletes, empowering them to compete and win at the highest level.
“Peak demands are often the most important part of athlete performance and the most dangerous for injury,” said Paul Robbins, Executive Vice President of Sports Performance at KINEXON, in our June 2021 partnership announcement. “KINEXON quantifies peak demands through the tracking of high acceleration and sprint events. Now with STRIVE, we can monitor the muscle activity during these peak demands to understand training and recovery. This combination will allow KINEXON and STRIVE to provide teams with unrivaled training and recovery insights.”
