Omegawave, the developer of advanced systems for sports training, has won a Sports Technology Award for Best Performance Technology for Elite Athletes at the 2014 Sports Technology Awards in London yesterday. The Sports Technology Awards competition was launched to acknowledge the role that new technologies play in sports and the positive effect they bring to sports training and performance. The 2014 competition welcomed diverse entries from international sports performance companies, and the jury included industry leaders, journalists, and Olympic medalists.

Omegawave develops products that give users the advantage of physical intelligence and are widely used by the world's top competitive athletes. The Omegawave Team system, an advanced training management and readiness assessment device, is used by teams like AFC Ajax, the Canadian Women's Hockey Team, South Africa's Stormers, and the Seattle Seahawks.The system helps athletes optimise their performance, avoid overtaining, and decrease the risk of injuries. Using cloud-based technology, the Omegawave system can assess the state of an athlete's metabolic, cardiac and central nevous system, measuring how he or she is physically responding to training and stress in only two minutes at rest.

Omegawave Personal can help users train more effectively at home. The system is designed to measure the main systems in the user's body and recommend the optimal workout type and intensity. It lets the user know when to train and when to rest and recover in order to perform better. This not only provides the user with accurate training advice, but also reduces the risk of injury and overtraining.

"It is always rewarding to be recognized among your peers," said Omegawave CEO Gerard Bruen at the awards ceremony yesterday. "We are proud of Omegawave’s reputation within the world of elite coaches and athletes and we intend to show more and more teams that we are here to help them achieve maximum results in the most efficient manner. We provide the coaches with individualized insights about their players’ physical and mental readiness, so that they can manage their training more safely and effectively. That way, they can always have the best team available to achieve maximum results."
