The KAT system captures the Desired Movement, and then helps the wearer Self-Correct it, with instructive vibrations FELT through the sensors DURING the movement.
Train an athlete’s awareness of their position and movement within customized margins of error controlled from your phone.
Up to 3 sensors can be used simultaneously. Put one KAT on the hip, and another on the forearm to capture and train peak vertical acceleration during a basketball jump shot, or one on the hip, and shoulder for optimal timing of rotational acceleration and separation during a baseball or golf swing.
Intuitive user interface with image-assist and real time data visualizations helps the user determine KAT placement on the body for static and dynamic movements.
The Capture button commands KAT sensors to ‘memorize and store’ its own kinematic values while an athlete is executing a position or movement. Allows athletes and coaches quickly store the sensation of the skill they want the athlete to experience and replicate, and later, to recognize and retrieve during solo and deliberate practice.
Feedback options include the dose, type, and timing of audio and vibratory feedback, and are based on neuroscience principles of attention, motor learning, muscle memory formation, sensory occlusion and more.
Teaching modes use the principles of motor learning in direct Instruction, Exploration, Habit Break and Error Comprehension for athletes’ mastery of their sensorimotor space.
Margins of Error (MOE): Slider bars on the app quickly and easily allow for precise control of the Target Zone and Feedback settings. Global slider settings at all activate parameters equally. Or Assymetrical MOE for each Target value can be set in each plane separately
Incremental adjustments of Target value: Tap plus (+) or minus(-) settings to redefine incrementally adjust the target value without having to re-capture a target.
Movement Guidance— Corrective vibrations in Binary Feedback can indicate whether a Target was achieved or not, or Gradient Feedback works like your car’s collision warning system, with louder and faster beeps/vibrations to guide the wearer into and through the movement.
Allows an athlete to design and follow scripted audio or vibratory cues to start and stop individual repetitions. Customizable to each athlete’s needs. Fast repeatable set up, great for rotating athletes through skill stations in camp settings. Ask us about KAT camps, team use and custom-built modules.
If you can measure it, You can Train it. Capture and Train other movement skills with auxiliary sensors that work with the patented KAT System.
PATENTED AND COMING SOON! Custom vibrations can be felt by the athlete in weight distribution, eye movement and muscle activity.
KAT Force: Capture and train the optimal weight transfer in hitting or throwing sports with force-measuring insole sensors for specific skills.
KAT Optic: Capture and train optimal eye movement patterns when an athlete’s gaze duration at or trajectory to a particular target is longer than desired.
KAT Muscle: Skin sensors capture specific muscle activity, and can train awareness of under or over activation.
