1) Monitor Progress During Everyday Training

With Scan and Start bands, tracking athlete's performance becomes a seamless part of daily training. By wearing the bracelets during each session, the Sportreact system automatically logs results and calculates critical performance metrics such as velocity, acceleration, power, and force for each rep.

How Do NFC Bands Improve Training Efficiency?

• Rep-to-rep comparisons - Track total time, reaction time, velocity, power, and force for every drill your athlete performs, with minimum, maximum, and average scores for precise evaluation.
• Quick normative data benchmarking - Instantly see how each athlete's results compare to relevant normative data for their sport, level, age, and sex.
• Progress monitoring - Identify individual and team-wide trends, view graphs for easier visualization, and track progress and decline in detail with calculated percentage change rates.
• Athlete comparisons across drills and metrics - Evaluate athletes based on their specific skills, drills, and performance metrics.
• Quick rankings - Access leaderboards for each drill and compare individual performances against norms, or team averages in every skill and metric.

By continuously collecting data with Sportreact, you don't have to rely on periodic testing to evaluate progress. Instead, every drill becomes an opportunity for assessment, ensuring that training remains optimized.

2) Run Efficient Seasonal Performance Testing

Testing multiple teams or a large number of athletes at the beginning and end of each season can be challenging. Coaches often face issues such as timing errors, athlete management, and the inefficiency of manually recording and inputting results—leading to lost or misattributed data.

Sportreact has already simplified this process with its advanced laser timing gates and in-depth analytics. Now, data collection becomes even faster with the integration of NFC bands.

How to Quickly Test Large Groups of Athletes with Scan and Start Bands?

Before the test, the coach uploads athlete data and links each wristband to a profile. At the start, the athlete taps their bracelet on the NFC reader, connecting their name to the drill. As they run through the gates, the system automatically tracks their performance and records the results—no manual timing or input needed.

How Do NFC Bands Improve Testing Efficiency?

• Hands-Free Timing - Timing is completely automatic. Coaches can focus on what’s happening on the field and analyze performance instead of managing stopwatches or manually recording results.
• Accurate Athlete Identification - Ensures each athlete's results are correctly linked to them, eliminating misattributed data.
• Granular Data Collection - All results and saved, and performance metrics are calculated in real time (velocity, acceleration, power, and force).
• Data Visualisations - All recorded results, scores and metrics can be viewed on graphs and other visualisation options, allowing quick assessments and instant feedback to athletes, parents or colleagues.
• Instant Benchmarking - Sportreact app allows for quick comparisons of athlete-to-athlete performance in multiple leaderboards, as well as comparing individual results to normative data, or team/group averages.
