Catapult, the global leader in sports technology solutions, is set to revolutionise the athlete monitoring industry with the launch of their new Vector T7 device on 1 April.

The Vector T7 is 73% smaller than its predecessor and delivers the most accurate and comprehensive player data in indoor environments, including the company’s Basketball Movement Profile.

This profile quantifies and categorises every type of basketball movement on the court, helping coaches make better decisions for their athletes and identify the causes of performance strain with more accuracy.

Commenting on the announcement, Catapult CEO, Will Lopes, said: “Our mission at Catapult is to empower teams with the tools to unleash their potential.”

“Our Vector solution has become the industry standard for thousands of elite teams, in dozens of sports in more than 150 federations worldwide.

“The Vector T7 is just the latest in our commitment to equip the best, with the best. It is smaller, lighter, and easier for players to wear and for training staff to use on and off the court.

“We look forward to yet again setting a new standard in athlete monitoring for athletes worldwide,” he said.

The Vector T7 and Basketball Movement Profile were beta tested by five-time men’s national basketball champion Duke University and Ohio State University women’s basketball team, currently ranked fifth in the Big Ten conference.
