Fast-decision sports: attention, measured in play

In many sports the difference is made in a fraction of a second: reading the play, choosing, acting. SPARK measures the attention and the cognitive load behind those decisions, during training itself.

01 · What it measures

What the platform measures in the athlete

Attention

Where it holds and where it slips during the action.

Cognitive load

How hard the brain works when the play speeds up.

Mental fatigue

How decisions hold up late in a session.

02 · What it brings

Training the decision, not only the gesture

Physical and technical work is measured every day. The mental side of the decision rarely is.

Measured during training, attention and load become a dimension coaches can work on and athletes can follow, session after session.

The decision, measured.

03 · In practice

How it is used, and for whom

How it is used

The sensor is worn during training. The measurement is aligned with the session, then read in the debrief with the coach.

Who it's for

  • Athletes
  • Coaches
  • Performance staff
  • Sports academies
04 · An example

A decision training session

  1. The situation

    An athlete repeats a game situation where the decision is taken in a fraction of a second.

  2. What the measurement shows

    Attention holds at the start, then slips late in the session while the gestures still look right.

  3. What is done with it

    The coach shortens the block, or places the hardest situations earlier in the session.
