What if you could compare your physical activity with that of professional athletes? This is now possible thanks to the Catapult brand which has released Playertek, a special smart health connected polo shirt, which has access to a large database.

Playertek compares you to a huge database

When you play football or a team sport on a regular basis, you may regularly think that you have a level sufficient to be professional. Or even, watching a match on television, we do not understand why a player does not run more. How can he be already tired? If we were in his place, we would still be galloping on the ground! Now is the time to take on these announcements!

Catapult offers the “Playertek” smart health connected polo shirt. She already works with more than 1,250 professional athletes. Among these in particular footballers from Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham or even Leicester. Using Playertek you can therefore compare your performance with them. The GPS integrated in the polo shirt allows you to follow you permanently whether it is a match or a training session. The polo shirt also includes an accelerometer and a magnetometer. Among the data collected are the distance traveled, the maximum speed, the distance of sprints or the number of sprints traveled. The data is then collected and transferred to the iPhone application. They are divided into two parts, so that you can understand how your results evolve during each half of the match and understand your effort management.

At the moment, there is no Android application yet and the GPS is not able to work during indoor activities.

smart health connected clothing to replace wearables

More generally, sports teams tend to rely more and more on data to improve their teams. This desire, which first appeared in US sports, is gradually arriving in Europe. But to replace the sometimes invasive sensors, priority is now given to smart health connected clothing. Manufacturers have understood this and are therefore starting to offer outfits allowing them to have precise data in real time.

In addition to Catapult with Playertek, the company Polar unveiled Pro Team Shirt at CES 2020. Equipped with GPS and cardio it measures activity in real time. For the company, “We re-imagined the chest strap for professional athletes and we developed the Team Pro Shirt. "

Playertek is still pre-ordering at this time. This smart health connected polo shirt will be available for delivery in Europe in the near future according to the company. Count 199 pounds (around 233 euros) then 25 pounds (around 33 euros) for additional polo shirts.
