How Sonra helps rugby teams maximize performance
Sonra Live iPad
Unlock performance insights in real time
Monitor up to 96 players live across 70+ metrics including sprint load, acceleration patterns, and intensity zones. With real-time feedback at your fingertips, you can refine drills, adjust workloads, and optimize output from outside backs, loose forwards, and front-row players alike.
Apex 2.0
Engineered for precision and performance
The new Apex 2.0 delivers centimeter-level positional accuracy at 25Hz using dual-band RTK GNSS. Integrated AI transforms real-time data into actionable insights — helping rugby coaching teams and S&C staff refine training, enhance in-game performance, and maximize player potential.
Sonra Software
Track speed development across athletes
Sonra’s Sprint Split Analysis lets coaches test large groups in one sprint effort, capturing time/distance splits for each athlete — eliminating the need for traditional timing gates and enabling accurate evaluation of acceleration, sprint performance, and position-specific training needs.
Sonra Software
Drive improvement through drill-level analysis
Use Sonra software to segment any session into unlimited drills. Break down performance by activity type, intensity block, or position group — allowing coaches to identify strengths, pinpoint inefficiencies, and tailor future sessions for measurable performance gains.
Sonra Software
Boost structure through mapped movement
Mapping features visualize movement, contact zones, and running intensity across training phases. Coaches can identify how well players support structure, adjust positioning in transition, and manage physical output — from dynamic loose forwards to supporting backs.
Smart Beacon
Accurate live data across all environments
Whether used as a mobile unit or as a fixed solution in stadiums and training areas, the Smart Beacon delivers unrivalled live data accuracy. Coaches get instant access to reliable performance metrics, enabling real-time decisions and ensuring every session drives measurable improvement.
How Sonra helps rugby teams reduce injury risk
Apex 2.0
Monitor collisions and scrum dynamics
Apex 2.0 tracks every individual collision, with metrics on timing differentials, intensity, and return-to-feet speed. Analyze scrum engagements player-by-player to assess load tolerance, technique efficiency, and fatigue-related risk factors.
Sonra Live iPad & Watch
Set thresholds to flag risk in real time
Customize player-specific thresholds for sprint distance, high speed running, max speed, or acceleration. Get live alerts via Sonra Live iPad or Watch when limits are exceeded — enabling immediate action to reduce the potential for injury.
Apex 2.0
Uncover hidden movement issues
The Apex 2.0 Tracker delivers precise left–right loading and step balance metrics, giving coaches and practitioners early insight into asymmetries, compensation patterns, and inefficient movement that could increase injury risk.
Sonra software
Prepare for peak game intensity
Use Max Intensity Period (MIP) data from Sonra Software to replicate “worst-case scenario” outputs from real games — ensuring your athletes are prepared for the highest in-game loads, without unexpected spikes.
Sonra Cloud
Control cumulative exposure across squads
With Sonra Cloud, all session data is centralized. Whether a player appears in rehab, academy, or first-team units, their total workload is visible and accounted for — helping minimize cumulative load and avoid overtraining.
Smart Dock
Reduce risk through faster analysis
With the Smart Dock, download up to 48 trackers in seconds and auto-sync to Sonra Cloud. Less time waiting for data means more time acting on it — helping reduce injury risk with smarter, faster analysis.
How Sonra helps rugby teams improve athlete recovery
Sonra Live Watch
Pace recovery efforts with precision feedback
Use Sonra Live Watch’s Pacemaker mode to guide steady-state and interval runs with haptic and audio cues. Perfect for return-to-play or active recovery blocks where intensity needs to be tightly controlled.
Sonra Software
Compare recovery response over time
Sonra Software's longitudinal dashboards show how players adapt to training and recovery protocols over days and weeks — enabling informed progression and smarter load decisions.
Conductive Vest
Streamline heart rate monitoring
The STATSports Conductive Vest enables continuous heart rate tracking via Bluetooth — no chest strap needed. Data is instantly available on iPad and Watch apps for both live and post-session analysis.
Sonra Cloud
Coordinate across teams and roles
With Sonra Cloud, coaching, S&C and medical teams can view shared player data — keeping everyone aligned on session loads, rehab timelines, and athlete status, without duplicating efforts.
Sonra Software
Prevent overload with Sub-Max tracking
Use Sub-MIP (Sub-Max Intensity Period) tools in Sonra Software to design sessions that deliver recovery stimulus without pushing players toward peak thresholds — ideal during phased reintegration.
