Indoor load without GPS
Satellites do not reach under a roof. Strong reads load from heart rate and accelerometer signals, jumps, and court movement, so an indoor session is measured as precisely as an outdoor one.
Basketball
The game is played in the air and on the first step.
Strong is the performance intelligence platform for basketball. It reads the load GPS cannot see indoors, jumps, court accelerations, and decelerations, and connects it to recovery, biomechanics, and availability across a dense schedule, all in one view.
The problem
The true cost of a disconnected basketball program
Your sports scientist reads accelerometer and heart-rate load in one system, because GPS does not work under a roof. Your medical team logs ankles, knees, and rehab progress in another. Your dietician tracks nutrition in spreadsheets. The head coach gets three reports and tries to reconcile them between a back-to-back. In a sport built on repeated jumps and explosive first steps across a dense calendar, fragmented data hides risk, lets tendon and ankle load build unseen, and turns rotation decisions into guesswork. You have the player data. You just do not have the single source of truth basketball performance management demands.
- Jump and accel load in one platform, recovery and minutes in another
- Patellar and ankle load building unseen across back-to-backs
- Rotation and rest calls made on three reports instead of one
One platform
One language for the whole basketball program.
Strong does not replace your staff. It unifies their data into one objective view of every player, so decisions on training load, minutes, and game-night readiness become faster, clearer, and backed by a complete narrative, on and off the court.
Session load
Read the load GPS cannot see indoors
Jumps, high accelerations, hard decelerations, and time at high intensity, the load model that actually fatigues a basketball player when satellites are blocked by a roof. The load bars render a session as one readable set, each metric scaled to its own ceiling so a director sees how hard today was at a glance, with the standout marked by shape and label, never colour alone.

Engineered for basketball
Built for the unique demands of the indoor game
Jump and landing load
Count and weight every jump and landing, and correlate cumulative jump load with patellar and ankle complaints, so tendon risk is managed before it costs availability.
Acceleration and deceleration stress
The explosive first step and the hard stop define basketball. Model the high accelerations and decelerations that load knees and ankles most across a session.
Dense-schedule recovery
Back-to-backs and a congested calendar leave little time to recover. Watch readiness against a rolling baseline so rest and minutes are managed on evidence, not instinct.
Availability and minutes
Bring load, wellness, and medical status together so the rotation conversation starts from one objective picture of who is ready and for how long.
Position-aware load
A guard's movement profile is not a centre's. Strong reads load against position so the numbers mean what they should for each player on the floor.
The metrics that matter
The analytics that build a resilient basketball squad
- External load
- Jump counts and heights, high accelerations and decelerations, and time at high intensity, the indoor load model that does not rely on GPS.
- Internal load and readiness
- Heart-rate variability, sleep duration and quality, and subjective wellness, for a complete picture of recovery between games.
- Injury prevention
- Acute:chronic workload ratios, jump-load trends, and historical ankle and knee patterns, to flag at-risk players before an incident.
- Technical execution
- Biomechanical data on take-off and landing mechanics under fatigue, giving skill and rehab staff objective feedback.
Agnostic by design
Powerful by integration
Your investment in technology is safe. Strong is hardware-agnostic, built to ingest the tools your program already trusts. Connect your accelerometer and inertial units, heart-rate monitors from Polar and Garmin, force plates, and your medical records. Strong is the intelligence layer that standardises every stream, so you finally see the complete picture without changing the devices your staff rely on.

0spreadsheets to reconcile before a back-to-back
We could not use GPS indoors, so our load picture was always incomplete. Strong pulled jump load, accelerometer data, and our medical notes into one record. Our minutes and rest decisions are far more objective now, and we caught two players trending toward patellar issues before they pulled up. It changed how we manage a dense schedule.
