The Johan Sports individual athlete dock is a great way for coaches to monitor their athletes remotely. Athletes can utilize the Johan Sports PACER devices anytime and anywhere—whether training solo, at a camp, or during competition. By using the Johan Sports Live App, athletes synchronize their PACER devices with the cloud, enabling coaches to edit, trim, and analyze the data once it’s uploaded from the training session or competition

Cold temperatures can have significant physiological effects on athletes, especially those participating in high-intensity sports like football. Heart rate, as a key indicator of cardiovascular effort, is one of the most affected parameters.

When it comes to optimizing athletic performance, setting clear targets is essential. Traditionally, team targets have been the norm. While this approach promotes unity and ensures everyone is working towards the same objective, it doesn't account for individual differences in roles, positions, or physical readiness.
