The biological layer of performance
PULSE adds the biological layer to training, load and recovery, connecting what you ask of an athlete with how their body responds — so the next step can adapt to the individual.
The platform
A look inside the platform with a fictional club: the baseline, the follow-up with the data you choose, the cockpit, the alerts per role, the KPI S in ten languages and OSCAR.
Coaches, medical staff, performance experts and the technology you already trust keep their role. PULSE adds what sits between load and performance: how this player's biology handles this load, today.
How it works
Load, contact, travel, congested weeks. The demand is known — and your GPS, wellness and training data stay exactly where they are.
DNA, Gut and Oral read as one ecosystem, with a urine strip through the season. The co-metabolism of Host and micro-organisms shows how this player processes the effort.
One word per player — START, ADAPT or PROTECT — and a short line for each role. Training, recovery, nutrition or timing move with what the body needs next.
Players who adapt, recover and come back stronger are available more often — for the matches that matter.
Now in print
Two players. The same training. The same support. Yet their bodies respond differently.
Now in print. The science behind the platform, told in full: adaptation, co-metabolism and the human ecosystem in team sport. Books 2 and 3 follow, one for each world of sport.
Written by Petra Van Gucht with Carl Vandenbussche, Leigh Egger and Ruben Peeters. In English and Dutch.

What your staff see
The doctor, the dietitian and the performance coach each receive their own alert on the phone. Never a photo, never a score: a position on a bar, the word that belongs to it and a short text that points to the next step.
How it starts
What makes the player unique — it does not change, so it is read once.
The ecosystem that moves with food, travel and a heavy week.
How the body is doing that day — on match day, the morning after and in a heavy week.
The baseline is read in our own laboratory. The data remains the player's. PULSE supports decisions and does not provide a diagnosis.
What every package includes →Through the season
After the baseline, the biological layer stays with the player. The urine strip is the fixed biological layer next to the club's own training and wellness data — so the club does not need a device or a lab of its own.
On match day, the morning after the match and one extra morning in a heavy week: the first morning urine on a sport strip.
The player places the strip next to the colour chart and takes a photo in the PULSE app. PULSE is the reader; the app asks for a new photo if the image is too dark or blurred.
With complaints or energy falling short, a photo of the stool follows: shape and colour show whether the food of the days before gave enough energy.
Never a photo — always a position on a bar with its word and a short text, as an alert for their own role.
The strip is a follow-up measurement, not a diagnosis; an unusual result goes to the club doctor.
