Performance Starts With the Right Surface
Recovery
Lower peak impacts with supportive energy return for comfortable, low-intensity work.
Endurance
Push cardiovascular conditioning while managing musculoskeletal loading.
Speed
Use firmer profiles to reach top running speeds and build robustness.
Metabolic
Increase muscular effort for repeated high-intensity bursts.
Power
Combine grip and energy return for explosive changes of direction.
Reaction
Enable quick foot contacts and plyometric responsiveness.
When a surface doesn’t perform as expected, even the best training plan can fail.
Raw Performance gives coaching, medical, and performance staff the insight to anticipate how each playing surface will respond before the session begins.
SOFTWARE
Raw Performance
Raw Performance converts measured surface data into clear, performance-focused insights that guide planning and collaboration.
-
Instant dashboards: Compare playing surfaces through the key performance indexes: Impact, Energy, and Grip.
-
Boot advice: Get footwear recommendations that match surface traction and support safe, efficient sessions.
-
Training goals: Identify which surface best supports your next objective.
-
Game ready: Mirror expected match conditions to prepare players for competition.
-
Training overview: Visualise periodisation and surface exposure across the season.
-
Teamwork: Grounds, performance, and medical staff share one truth, the objective one.
-
Trends: Track surface evolution and player exposure to build robustness over time.
Use cases
"It’s encouraging to see performance and the pitch finally come together in one place. It helps us understand how the surface characteristics influence the player and their performance."
Rainer van Gaal Appelhof
Head Physical Performance
"By objectively characterizing pitch properties, Raw Stadia facilitates the examination of relationships between surface characteristics, player movement patterns, and performance outcomes in a data-informed manner."
Arne Jaspers
Sport Scientist
RBFA
"Detailed surface data provide a valuable foundation for linking contextual factors of the playing environment to physical performance indicators and the multifactorial nature of injury risk"
