The Problem

You put in the work.
SportsEdge makes sure it works for you.

Five reasons why training hard without tissue-level data is leaving performance on the table — and putting you at risk.

37%
Of all muscle injuries in field sport are hamstring strains
flip
Hamstrings are the #1 muscle injury across football, rugby and Australian rules — 37% of all muscle injuries, causing more missed games than any other soft-tissue problem.
SETracks hamstring load after every session — flags accumulation before it reaches the injury threshold.
Ekstrand et al., Am J Sports Med 2011 — 51 clubs, 2,299 players, 9 seasons
1 in 4
Team sport athletes will suffer groin pain in a season
flip
Groin pain affects up to 32.5% of soccer players in a single season, with a 30% recurrence rate. It's the most under-managed injury in team sport.
SEMonitors adductor and groin load across sprint, COD and acceleration events — protecting the tissues most exposed to cutting movement.
Haroy et al., BJSM 2022 — 600 team sport athletes across 5 sports
3.6×
Higher re-injury risk after a prior soft-tissue injury
flip
Once it's torn, the risk compounds. Previous soft-tissue injury is the single strongest predictor of future injury — across hamstring, groin, calf and adductor.
SEContinuously monitors tissue state through return-to-play — alerting when load exceeds the safe threshold for previously injured tissue.
Foreman et al., Journal of Sport Rehabilitation
31%
Of calf strains in field sport result in a re-injury
flip
Calf strains recur in 19–31% of cases across football, rugby and Australian rules — typically because athletes return too soon without adequate tissue preparation.
SETracks calf and Achilles tendon load, flags premature return to high-speed running and acceleration before tissue has adapted.
Calf Strain in Athletes, JBJS Reviews 2022
66%
Injury risk reduction from load-managed strength training
flip
The solution exists. Meta-analysis of 7,738 athletes — structured strength training reduces soft-tissue injury risk by 66% when load is properly managed (RR 0.338).
SEIntegrates gym sessions into the load model — strength training counts as protection, not just training stress.
Lauersen et al., BJSM 2018 — 25 RCTs, 7,738 athletes
Evidence-Based Monitoring

Track the metrics that
actually matter to an athlete.

Not steps. Not calories. The GPS and biomechanical metrics with published evidence linking them directly to soft-tissue injury, performance decline, and tissue overload.

Speed Zone
Sprint Metres
The total distance covered above maximal velocity. Sprinting places the highest mechanical demand on the hamstrings — more than any other running intensity.
6.1×
Higher injury odds when weekly sprint distance spikes by 75–105m in elite soccer players
Malone et al., J Sci Med Sport, 2018 — OR: 6.12 (90%CI 4.66–8.29) for sprint distance spike of 75–105m, 37 elite soccer players, one full season.
Intensity Zone
High Speed Running
Distance covered above 14.4 km/h. Weekly HSR volume is one of the strongest predictors of non-contact lower-limb injury — but underdosing it is equally dangerous.
3.0×
Higher injury odds when HSR increases sharply week-on-week vs well-managed chronic load
Malone et al., J Sci Med Sport, 2018 — OR: 3.02 (90%CI 2.03–5.18) for HSR spike of 351–455m. Higher chronic load ≥2584 AU was protective.
Movement Quality
Change of Direction
COD events generate the highest multiplanar knee loads of any sport action. They are the primary mechanism for non-contact ACL injury in multidirectional team sports.
75%
Of non-contact ACL injuries occur during deceleration or change-of-direction, not sprinting
Dos'Santos et al. — COD tasks generate significantly higher KAM (d=2.84) and anterior shear force (d=1.42) vs deceleration alone. PMC6942029.
Tissue Stress
Deceleration Load
Decelerations create high eccentric muscle forces that cause more mechanical damage than accelerations. A spike in deceleration load carries the greatest non-contact injury risk of all GPS metrics.
#1
A spike in decelerations carries the greatest non-contact soft-tissue injury risk of all GPS metrics
Systematic review evidence — deceleration spikes are consistently identified as the highest-risk GPS metric for non-contact soft-tissue injury across field sports.
Power Output
Acceleration Load
High-intensity accelerations carry high metabolic cost and neuromuscular demand. As match fatigue accumulates, acceleration capacity declines — a direct signal of injury vulnerability.
↓ H2
High-intensity accelerations drop significantly in the second half — vulnerability window for injury
Ingebrigtsen et al., Sports Medicine, 2019 — meta-analysis of 469 elite athletes, 7 team sports: high-intensity accel/decel frequency decreases first to second half across all sports.
Sprint Metres Tracked per session and week. Flagged when weekly change exceeds safe threshold.
High Speed Running Acute:chronic ratio calculated continuously. Danger zone alerts at ACWR >1.5.
COD Events Count, angle and intensity scored per session. High knee load events flagged.
Deceleration Load Volume and intensity monitored. Week-on-week spike triggers tissue load alert.
Acceleration Load Peak and average tracked. Drop-off signals fatigue accumulation before pain does.

The Platform

Same device.
New intelligence.

Your smartwatch records distance, heart rate and basic GPS data. SportsEdge takes that raw signal and calculates the metrics your watch was never built to show — acceleration load, deceleration events, change of direction count and high-speed running zones. These are the numbers that actually predict injury.

Workload Intelligence

Three systems. One complete picture.

SportsEdge combines tissue load mapping, acute:chronic workload ratio and tendon adaptation state into a single integrated view — the three metrics that together predict soft-tissue injury risk better than any single measure alone.

Gym + Field Integration

The load picture has always been
missing half the data.

Every GPS platform tracks field load. Every training app tracks gym sessions. No platform has ever combined them into a single tissue-level calculation — until now.

A world first: combined gym + field tissue load in a single model
SportsEdge is the first platform to calculate true biomechanical tissue load from both GPS field sessions and strength training simultaneously — giving athletes and coaches a complete weekly load picture no other tool can provide.
66%
Injury risk reduction from strength training
The largest meta-analysis ever conducted on injury prevention found structured strength training cuts soft-tissue injury risk by two-thirds — but only when load is properly managed. More isn't always better.
Lauersen et al., Br J Sports Med, 2018 — 7,738 athletes across 25 RCTs. RR: 0.338 for strength training vs control. A 10% increase in strength training volume reduced injury risk by >4 percentage points.
12%
Tendon strain reduction from high-load training
12 weeks of structured high-load tendon training reduced maximum tendon strain by 12% — meaning the tendon can absorb greater force before injury. The gym session is protection, not just stress.
Bohm et al., Sports Med Open, 2022 — High-load isometric + isotonic protocols. Tendon stiffness increased 15%, strain capacity improved proportionally.
48h
Recovery window between gym and field sessions
Stacking heavy gym sessions immediately before high-sprint field sessions dramatically increases tissue injury risk. Timing the two is as important as volume. SportsEdge plans the gap for you.
Clinical practice recommendation — 48h separation between high-load gym and high-sprint field sessions is widely supported across concurrent training and tissue adaptation research.

Why combining gym + field changes everything
The calculation no other tool makes
Gym sessions count as protection
A structured gym session reduces your tissue injury risk score — not just adds to it. More strength training = lower risk flag for the same field load.
Tendon load is tracked per exercise
Nordic curls, RDLs, calf raises — each carries a specific tendon load index. SportsEdge knows which exercises are building resilience vs creating stress.
Session sequencing is planned
The AI schedules gym and field sessions around optimal recovery windows — protecting tissues from the compounding effect of back-to-back high-load days.
Weekly ACWR reflects both sources
Your acute:chronic ratio is calculated from the total tissue load across gym AND field — not just GPS. That's the number that actually predicts injury risk.
