Technology in action: SpeedLab for precise speed diagnostics

With the SpeedLab, Global Speed has developed a specialized system for the analysis and training of speed and neurocognitive abilities. Different measurement systems enable a detailed capture of acceleration, sprint performance and reactive abilities.

The system offers:

  • high-precision time and motion measurement
  • differentiated analysis of sprint and acceleration phases
  • immediate feedback for training and performance management

This data is of central importance, particularly in competitive sport and in athletic development.

Proprietary interface for maximum data depth

The connection of the GlobalSpeed systems takes place via standardized interfaces and enables a structured adoption of test results, reaction parameters, time series and further performance-relevant measurement data into the Datico® LIFE HUB.

The platform supports both use in local diagnostic environments and integration into existing infrastructures, research data platforms and institutional IT landscapes. Depending on the respective use scenario, integrations into HIS, EPR, BI and scientific evaluation systems are also possible.

Via the Datico® LIFE APP as well as supplementary SmartForms, subjective feedback, perceived exertion, questionnaires or study-specific entries can additionally be synchronized directly with the measurement data.

Process overview

  1. Transfer of context data: Athlete and training information is passed from the Datico® LIFE HUB to the SpeedLab system, for example as part of complex test batteries.

  2. Performing the measurement and analysis: The diagnostics or the corresponding training takes place within the Global Speed system environment.

  3. Adoption of measurement data and analysis results: Both raw data and already calculated analyses are integrated into the Datico® LIFE HUB.

  4. Cross-system further processing: The data is available for combined evaluations with further systems.

Added value: preserve analysis, expand perspective

A central advantage of this integration is that not only data is transferred, but that the existing analytical intelligence of the SpeedLab is preserved – and at the same time expanded.

  • Adoption of existing analyses: Results from the SpeedLab are directly available in the Datico® LIFE HUB

  • Expansion through cross-system evaluation: Combination with data from other diagnostic and training systems

  • Single point of truth for performance data: A central data basis for all relevant performance parameters

  • New insights through data linkage: Correlations between speed, load and further performance factors become visible

Especially in a scientific environment, the central consolidation of GlobalSpeed data with further sensor, movement and vital data opens up considerable advantages for complex analyses and research projects.

Through the temporal synchronization of different data sources, neurocognitive reaction patterns can, for example, be correlated directly with heart rate variability, load parameters, movement data or hypoxia protocols. This creates a high-quality data basis for modern research approaches, machine learning methods and data-driven decision-making processes.

A long-standing partnership as the foundation

The integration is based on an established collaboration between Datico® and Global Speed.

This partnership-based development enables a particularly deep technical connection and ensures that the solution is optimally tailored to the requirements of practice.

A step toward integrated performance diagnostics

With the integration of Global Speed into the Datico® LIFE HUB, speed diagnostics become an integral component of a holistic performance analysis.

It connects specialized measurement systems with an overarching data platform – and thus creates the basis for well-founded, data-based training decisions.
