Sports Technology
At Coltium Industries, we are redefining how athletic performance is measured, optimized, and enhanced through the integration of AI, real-time data acquisition, embedded systems, and machine learning. Our sports technology division focuses on transforming raw human performance into actionable intelligence.
What We're Building:
Real-Time Performance Tracking
We develop wearable sensors and embedded firmware platforms that track athletes' biometrics in real-time — capturing metrics like:
- •Speed, acceleration, and fatigue
- •Muscle activity (EMG)
- •Heart rate, oxygen saturation, and recovery analytics
These are used in training camps, live matches, and rehabilitation centers to monitor physical strain and adaptation.
Biomechanics & Movement Analysis
Through our AI-enhanced motion systems and camera-embedded models, we perform:
- •Kinematic motion capture
- •Gait and posture correction feedback
- •3D joint mapping and performance correction
Used in sports like athletics, football, basketball, and swimming.
AI-Powered Game Strategy & Coaching Intelligence
We build platforms that merge:
To generate:
- •Real-time coaching feedback
- •Opponent pattern recognition
- •Tactical heatmaps and player positioning suggestions
Machine Learning for Injury Prevention
We integrate ML to:
- •Predict overuse injuries
- •Flag strain signatures from historical data
- •Automate workload balancing and training adaptation plans
Data Integration Dashboards
All athlete and team data is visualized in secure, cloud-connected dashboards with:
