How Rugby Players Benefit from GPS Trackers

Discover how every rugby player can enhance their game by wearing a GPS Player Vest. GPS trackers capture crucial data aligned with the three cornerstones of rugby performance: Speed, Distance, and Intensity. These metrics provide a clear path for players to consistently push their boundaries and reach new personal records on the pitch, becoming stronger, fitter, and faster rugby player. Delve deeper into how our GPS rugby trackers operate and the vital information they collect.

1. Speed

In rugby, speed is an essential attribute that can drastically enhance a player's performance. The sport's dynamic nature demands quick bursts of acceleration and nimble footwork. Whether it's sprinting to complete a try or rapidly changing direction to evade a tackle, speed is always a game-changer.

2. Distance

In rugby, effective coverage of the pitch is key. The distance a player covers can often distinguish a solid performance from a game-dominating one. A player who's skilled at anticipating the flow of play and purposefully moving to fill essential gaps proves invaluable to their team.

3. Intensity

Rugby thrives on the relentless energy players bring to each play - from high-speed trys to sudden changes in direction . Intensity underpins a player's value in each match. By analysing their intensity metrics, rugby players can harness their potential, elevating their game to the next level.
