Our validated collision metrics allow coaches to monitor collision loads, optimise training, and improve injury prevention—all with unmatched precision and ease.

Independent research validates the accuracy of STATSports collision metrics, demonstrating:

• Nearly Perfect Correlation: Collision Load and collision counts from STATSports devices align strongly with video analysis (r = 0.91–0.98).
• Comprehensive Player Insights: Metrics detect all collision types, including tackles, carries, and rucks, with high reliability across matches and player positions.
• Position-Specific Precision: Collision Load effectively differentiates collision intensities between positions, highlighting higher loads for backs versus forwards.
• Effortless Automation: Save time and resources with automated metrics that correlate almost perfectly with manual video coding.

STATSports collision metrics add another layer to load monitoring in contact sports, allowing for practitioners to mitigate injury risk. Click below to find out more about how we can help your team.
