Avidasports Signs University of Michigan

HARPER WOODS, Mich., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Avidasports announced today an agreement with the University of Michigan men's and women's swim teams to use AvidaMetrics, a breakthrough product using athletic telemetry for swimming.  The nationally renowned Wolverines will be the first collegiate program to use the technology which provides the ultimate training edge, connecting audio technology with performance.

With AvidaMetrics, swimmers are equipped with personal electronics, coaches are armed with slate PCs, and the facility is outfitted with AvidaMetrics equipment.  Information such as speed, stroke count, distance per stroke, stroke tempo, kick count, kick tempo, turn time, length time, and more can be measured and synchronized with audio.  Multiple athletes can be simultaneously tracked and communicated with during practice.  Improvement is ultimately achieved by using the full depth of the product during real time and post- workout analysis.
