Kinexon Named Galileo Master for Athlete Tracking Analysis

摘要

Online analysis of athletes'tactical, technical, and physical capability is the focus of this year's newly named Galileo Master, Kinexon GmbH. The 10th European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC) recognized the best products, services, and innovations that facilitate the use of satellite navigation in everyday life. At the 2013 awards ceremony, prizes worth a total of about EUR 1 million were presented in 32 categories. The ceremony took place during the European Space Solutions Conference, held November 5-7 in Munich, Germany. Athletic analysis is playing an increasingly important role in modern sport training. The underlying idea - known as the Hawthorne effect - is simple: if you can measure your performance, you can also improve it. Following this principle, two research assistants from Technische Universitat Mijnchen (Germany) founded the company Kinexon GmbH at the ESA Business Incubation Centre Bavaria and developed a cloud-based solution for analyzing and visualizing training data on mobile devices.
