Thus the victories of Jacobs and Tamberi are a help for the well-being of all

by admin

We have practically seen them all these days. Marcell Jacobs running behind a car in a mobile cage that protects it from wind and exhaust gases and forces it to a sustained speed. Gianmarco Tamberi jumping high in his underwear, his body covered by a thousand sensors. If the fatigue is the same as the athletes at the time of Olympia, training at the time of the modern Olympics has become something else entirely.

Also thanks to startups, or rather sport ups like Microgate, a Bolzano-based company founded in 1989, which works with clients such as Nasa and Mit, from which the spin off started the motion which deals with training, sports medicine and rehabilitation. Top product: everything you need for evaluations and monitoring of sports performance.

We have seen what Jacobs is doing in the cage commissioned by Coni: free, he runs like a train, in spite of the suspicions of those who consider him improved too quickly and not even consider all the doping tests he passed even in Tokyo. What does a Tamberi, or any athlete, dressed in sensors not even a cyborg do, is explained by Optojump Next, the latest born in the Microgate family. It is an optical detection system: a transmitting and a receiving bar. All the parameters of an athlete’s run have been detected, with an accuracy of one thousandth of a second, the classic trifle that can be worth a gold medal. The system processes in real time a series of parameters related to performance, sports data that, entrusted to the technicians, become personalized training plans. Not only that: what we could call the “sports passport” of each athlete certifies their history, so that comparisons can be made, the ideal conditions verified.

It seems to be an exclusive subject for individual disciplines, but for this very reason the applications also concern team sports, where the balance is even more difficult to find and it is necessary to avoid that one player is not up to the others. But the beauty of such a product is its portability, that it works at its best not only in the sports field, becoming a sort of mobile laboratory available to physiotherapists, osteopaths and other specialists. For the benefit of those who chase their gold medal not in a race but for example in re-education after an injury.

Get used to making tools like the photon counter already purchased by the US space agency, for those who work in the Microgate headquarters, sport is just another space to explore. For once the relationship is overturned: those who build control systems for telescopes put themselves at the service of athletes and technicians who, on earth, increasingly need to obtain precise data from performance to improve. Then, together, the beneficiaries and the authors of the service, can transform their syntheses from algorithms into suggestions and practices for the well-being of anyone. This is the real gold mine of sport: not just victories, but a sea of ​​data that can be studied for a thousand different developments.
