(Alliance News) - Oxford Metrics PLC on Thursday said its subsidiary Vicon has signed a contract with Red Bull Diagnostics & Training Centre for its inertial tracking solution.
Based in Austria, the Diagnostics & Training Centre rehabilitates and trains Red Bull's athletes across a multitude of sport disciplines such as athletics, ultrarunning and triathlon.
The AIM-listed software company said Red Bull has now chosen to invest in Vicon's inertial tracking solution to help reduce the risk of injury. Red Bull will use a combination of the Blue Trident inertial sensors and the IMU Step app to monitor lower limb load during training to aid return-to-play, reduce re-injury risk and optimise the performance of their athletes.
"Red Bull Diagnostics and Training Centre look after some of the best athletes in the world and when they are competing at that level, ensuring they stay fit and injury free, is vital. Through Vicon's unique combination of optical and inertial solutions, Red Bull will better track, analyse and optimise their athletes' performance," said Chief Executive Nick Bolton.
Oxford Metrics shares were trading 1.1% higher in London on Thursday at 88.50 pence each.
