How is CatchPad different from other light reaction products?

CatchPad is a more technologically advanced and versatile Ultimate Training System that encompasses all the capabilities of traditional light reaction equipment. With its multiple sensors and AI-supported application, it allows for deeper, more detailed analysis of workouts, offering optimal physical and cognitive development training for athletes. Our unique product design, combined with multiple sensors and stimuli, provides a more effective and distinctive experience. By integrating sound (for auditory perception), light, vibration, and various sensors (touch, proximity, balance, vibration detection, pressure) with advanced software, we differentiate ourselves from competitors by enabling a wide range of efficient activities across diverse training scenarios.

For example, deactivation options include motion (up to 150 cm), touch (with 10 levels of sensitivity for gentle or strong touches), and balance (sensitivity ranging from 1 to 10 degrees). This functionality makes the system ideal for multi-sensory and cognitive training. When using the balance feature, users receive immediate feedback on stability through vibration, sound, and light.

CatchPad also enhances training variety and effectiveness through guided in-app content. By merging user performance with our product’s advanced features, we provide highly accurate, comprehensive measurements. Detailed performance reports are available on the dashboard for tracking progress, accompanied by valuable recommendations to help you unlock your potential.

Designed with compactness and adaptability in mind, CatchPad can be mounted on any tripod, attached to surfaces via suction cups, magnets, velcro, or flexible bands, and can stand independently without tipping over—eliminating the need for large, additional accessories or added costs.

What are CatchPad's sensors?

Tap Sensor: 10 levels of sensitivity let you decide if you want a gentle touch or a punch.

Vibration Detection: No need to touch the pads directly—simply strike the area where they are placed. Set sensitivity to the maximum for this feature. Use it on surfaces like rebounders and passing boards.

Proximity (Distance) Sensor: No physical touch is required to deactivate the light. Deactivation occurs by motion within increments of 5 cm, up to 150 cm, allowing precise measurements of sprints, acceleration, and change-of-direction tests.

Balance Sensor: Measures the pad's angle relative to the ground with 1 to 10-degree sensitivity. It can be used with balance boards, balance balls, or while standing on one foot by holding a pad in each hand.

Vibration Feedback: When using the balance feature, the device provides instant feedback for balance loss through vibration, sound, and light. Keeping the pad level displays a green color. Tilting in any direction triggers a red warning light, guiding you to realign through vibrations and sound.

Range of Motion (ROM): Measures the extent to which you can move a joint or muscle in various directions. Useful for assessing active ROM (how much you can move a joint independently).

Pressure Force*: Measures leg extension strength.

Punch Force*: Measures punching and kicking power in human Franklin units.

Relative Force: Measures relative punching and kicking power.

*Pressure and Force sensors are sold as an additional package. They can be added to the first pad in your CatchPad set.
