Orreco.AI is a new AI technology tool that aims to help advance athlete training, athlete performance and management of injuries in sport.

This innovation in data collecting technology has one goal – to give athletes the power to control and better their performance using a range of data points never seen before in the industry.

Led by CEO and Sports Scientist Dr Brian Moore, Orreco has had a plan since 2010 to innovate sport by leveraging technology to better athletes’ performance and management.

Since its inception, Orreco has lead research findings and released new, updated technologies to fine tune the accuracy of the data they show to athletes.

They released the app ‘@thlete’, which is a data and content platform for athletes that synthesises a range of data to help athletes better their sleep, wellness, preparation and recovery.

Orreco’s Recovery Lab is the precursor to Orreco.AI, with it being a similar concept that integrates data and metrics to improve wellbeing.

Orreco also released a pioneering free app called FitrWoman which is a leader in supporting women athletes during their menstrual cycle by providing education, training and nutritional support.

Orreco is fast tracking the Orreco.AI technology that is the first of its kind. The technology gives teams player pages with basic statistics such as distance covered, top speed and performance stats but also is providing coaches with an in-depth analysis on their fitness by using blood biomarkers to accurately pick up the data.

Minute-by-minute post-game injury scores and injury signals that give coaches a head start on protecting and managing their players.

Orreco.AI aims to also improve efficiency for athlete performance coaches through voice and text prompt interactions.

Orreco have harnessed three pivotal waves of AI – advancements in computing, cloud storage, and generative AI.

Their objective is to provide differentiated, actionable data that can help athletes transform their game.

Orreco’s AI suite is at the forefront, complete high performance platform converting vast amounts of data into actionable insights. Here’s how:

AI Charting:

AI charting allows direct interaction with your data through intuitive voice commands. For example, you might ask, “Please show me Peter Brand’s inflammation levels as a line graph.” Instantly, crucial insights are displayed, enabling faster, more informed decisions to optimise athlete performance.

AI Action Models:

Our AI Action Models can provide comprehensive overviews of any dataset with simple voice commands. For instance, “Show me athletes of concern and why,”  immediate evidence based answers, securely delivered as your data never leaves the platform. This functionality ensures proactive management of player health and performance.

TRAIN:

The TRAIN module predicts training loads based on historical GPS data, creating sessions tailored to specific criteria — sets, reps, pitch size, and duration. Adjustments can be made in real-time, offering dynamic feedback. This efficiency not only saves time but also enhances training strategies.

AI Injury Risk Modelling:

Motion Signal delivers post-game injury risk scores by identifying deviations from normal movement patterns. This advanced warning system helps prevent injuries such as hamstring strains. As in-game data becomes available, real-time injury risk scoring will further enhance preventive measures.

Orreco’s mission with this particular technology is to empower teams and players to reach its peak performance, maintain health and extend careers.

There has never been a higher demand for athletes than in the current sports landscape. More games being played, more minutes on the pitch, more travel, and an increase in high intensity training has led to the increase of a risk of injury, shortened careers and poorer performances on gameday.

This AI technology innovation highlights a shift in how professional sporting clubs and athletes are viewing the current situation and willing to do what they can to mitigate the potential soft-tissue injuries that arise.

Rhenac, a growth lighting specialist company have released their latest product in their unique Complete Light Spectrum line, the RML 400, which delivers turf care across a 400 spm area using UV-C lighting equipment.

The RML 400, like all in the CLS range, is designed for businesses who want to maintain their sporting pitch with efficient and sustainable means — with industry-leading LED technology attached to a lightweight-rig design, the RML 400 provides state of the art turf growth under simulated conditions.

The LED system on the product stimulates natural sunlight using Rhenac-patented technology, which is backed by years of research and development in plat research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and used by several elite stadiums.

CEO of Rhenac, Horst Theisen explained the RML 400 lighting is not just about one monochromatic light: it’s much more.

“It’s about creating balanced light recipes that replicate natural sunlight and adjusting temperature to support every stage of turf growth,” he said via press release.

“Red light stimulates germination and shoot growth, while blue light promotes root development, shear strength, leaf structure and density. White light enhances overall turf health and vitality, while far red drives length growth.

“The ability to create bespoke recipes with this mixture of light, combined with infrared heating, ensures the optimal conditions for turf recovery, resilience and consistent playability.”

Rhenac prides itself on solving problems for their clients by using their already existing technology and adapting and personalising it in various ways.

Rhenac’s range of pitch care products and projects can be design specifically for stadiums and other customers, resulting in CLS equipment varying from compact frames for smaller pitches, to inbuilt structures and lighting for major venues.

Rhenac GreenTec

Rhenac sources their research and development through their engineering hub Rhenac GreenTec, founded to study and stay up to date in plant growth within climate chambers without natural light, to then use the data to update their products range.

Modern stadiums and training centres use Rhenac products to keep their pitch’s health and growth consistent all year round due to constraints like parts being under shade from stands, the demanding of training and play, as well as weather.

The results seen by those using the CLS range estimate a 100-percent boost to root growth with double the biomass, 40-percent fewer input requirements to the pitch, and 30-percent more playable hours, all done chemically-free.

The RML 400 is also equipped with analysers and real-time sensors that look deeper into the maintenance of the turf to help venue managers and grounds people to understand more about the reaction of the pitch to the light and its circumstances.

Alongside its advanced lighting technology, the RML 400 benefits from Rhenac’s collaboration with Turf Lighting Solutions who pioneer in single-row aluminium mobile lighting which ensures an easy-to-handle rig that’s practical for ground people to transport, deploy and store.

The RML 400 also includes intuitive controls, light sensor automation, smart remote operation from pitch side, using data-driven resources to ensure long-term reliability.

Turf Lighting Solutions

Turf Lighting Solutions is a subsidiary and partner of Rhenac who specialises in the development and design of the lighting and lightweight rigs (which TLS brought over with the partnership), delivering more than 600 rigs to 120+ stadiums, clubs, and sports venues worldwide.

TLS also designed and created some of Rhenac’s products like turf fans used to control temperature and improve airflow and spray cannons and air blowers for targeted treatment.

The company also consults and advises venue managers towards tailored services for each pitch’s unique conditions, and full lifecycle support from the initial enquiry to ongoing maintenance and optimisation.

Together, Rhenac have operated for over a decade with several decades of knowledge and industry experience from their team.
