ETB are seeking joint venture partners for these applications and others where organisations see a fit with ETB’s product portfolio.

Athletes and runners
Adult stride frequency varies little over running speeds, a higher speed is achieved by the variation in the length except at maximum speeds when stride frequency alters.[6] 

Stride length is a dominant factor in running speed and is a function of strength, power and flexibility.  New training programmes using ETB systems can not only focus on stride length but athletes can also monitor their stride frequency.[7]

The ETB system can be used to enable a runner to determine if they are maintaining the correct ratio.  New training programmes get the runner to focus on stride frequency not stride length. 

The ETB system can be used to accurately determine the stride frequency at different times in the training programme allowing the user to set a metronome/MP3 player for training runs.  This accurately provides stride characteristics to within 1% without calibration.  It does not make any assumptions about the profile of the leg movement or gait, which are walking, jogging, running and sprinting.  Hence it can be used off the track across country.  This system could be used in conjunction with heart rate monitors.

Field team sports
Trainers and sports coaches need to not only observe how fit and agile the sports person is, but also their mental attitude.  Monitoring of a player in training and also in the field of play during training matches will lead to a greater understanding of the capabilities of the player.  Such as, acceleration, speed, position, work rate.  Circuit training type activities will allow assessment against players as they carry out the same exercises.   The coach will not only be able to see who is quicker off the mark, but to also see differences in performance.  The coach would be able to see a reduction in 5% of the fitness of a player, which would not be readily seen just by watching.
