ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Shield Performance Products Ltd was founded by Jacob McCarthy in 2021 by combining his passions for fitness with his technical experience in design engineering. Being a competitive athlete, Jacob's desire to constantly improve his performance drove him to seek out new and more accurate ways of measuring his performance at certain exercises. The best athletes in sports often have the best equipment behind them. This philosophy is the premise of Shield.
OUR VISION
Injuries are a major concern for most people in their exercise routine. For competitive athletes this can even be career ending. It is essential to minimise this risk through the use of safe and proper exercise technique. Most people achieve this with the help of a personal trainer or coach, however, for most, the cost, accessibility, consistency and tailoring limitations of these solutions cannot match their needs. Shield believe that this guidance should be available to all any time they demand it.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
For some Garmins, Fitbits and Apple Watches are an adequate method of basic exercise technique analysis. However, it is common knowledge that these devices are temperamental and, due to the limitations of the data collection for these devices, they can only be so accurate. The MyPT leggings will accurately measure user movements from multiple locations and compare this data to an ideal model bespoke to that user’s ability. The product will provide analytical feedback to the user post-session for them identify their technique deficits for performance enhancement and injury risk reduction.
THE TEAM
The future of sports performance and injury risk mitigation relies on innovative solutions produced by passionate and experienced teams, such as Shield.
