ONE TAP SPORTS Collaborates with Japan's Women's Wheelchair Basketball Team

Euphoria is thrilled to announce that its data management system, ONE TAP SPORTS, has been appointed the official supplier for Japan's Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team. This collaboration aims to enhance the athletes' training, performance, and injury prevention through sophisticated data management and real-time tracking of their physical conditions.

Background and Challenges

The Japanese women's wheelchair basketball team operates on a bi-modal training schedule, where athletes split their time between national team camps and their respective home teams. This duality poses significant challenges to the coaching staff in monitoring each player’s training workload and overall condition during off-camp periods. Effective long-term performance development requires consistent and clear oversight of each player’s training data and physical status, which has traditionally been challenging to maintain.

Moreover, para-sports often necessitate meticulous information management, as players face diverse medical histories, disability types, and medication regimens. This complexity necessitates a highly individualized approach to conditioning. Some athletes, for example, need to monitor their weight multiple times daily to fine-tune their training based on physiological feedback.

Such specialized management is crucial not just for performance enhancement but also for minimizing the risk of injury as the team scatters across various locations. Relevant data often becomes fragmented, which can hinder effective training and increase injury risks.

Solution with ONE TAP SPORTS and Original Dashboard

To tackle these challenges, athletes will now log their daily conditioning and training data into the ONE TAP SPORTS platform. Additionally, each player will wear the Polar H10 wearable sensors during practice, providing essential heart rate data that integrates seamlessly with ONE TAP SPORTS. This convergence of objective measurements and subjective data is visualized through an innovative dashboard developed exclusively by Euphoria.

Key Features

1. Visualization of Training Load and Scientific Condition Management:
Data collected from the Polar devices, subjective ratings of perceived exertion (sRPE), and acute-chronic workload ratios (ACWR) will be managed through the dashboard. By leveraging the Fitness-Fatigue (FF) theory, coaches can objectively assess fatigue levels, thereby supporting injury risk reduction and performance optimization.

2. Support for Athlete Self-Coaching:
Athletes can reflect on their training loads and daily conditioning data via the dashboard, cultivating a self-coaching culture. This personal engagement promotes greater awareness of their physical states, enabling athletes to make informed decisions regarding their conditioning efforts.

3. Streamlining Team Operations:
Traditionally scattered condition-related data, including physical assessments, prior injury histories, and allergy information, will now reside in a unified dashboard. The platform also allows integration of practice schedules and essential tactical resources, significantly improving operational efficiency for the coaching staff.

Future Prospects

Euphoria is committed to not only providing the system but also ensuring an ongoing partnership with the coaching staff and athletes of Japan's Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team. The focus is on utilizing daily data to enhance conditioning and performance directly. Feedback from the field will continuously inform improvements to the platform's operations.

The ultimate aim is for each athlete to arrive at world competitions in peak mental and physical condition, ready to showcase their abilities on the global stage. By leveraging ONE TAP SPORTS and the original dashboard, Euphoria is dedicated to supporting the team in their quest for excellence.
