UAB Blazers weight room features new technology

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT)– The UAB Football team is leaving Friday for their game against the Florida Gators. Every week leading up to a game, no surprise- there is plenty of practice. New this morning, we are getting an inside sneak peak at the latest technology used by the Blazers during their everyday routine.

You’ll see iPads and cameras at the weight stations. This is a special system that tracks the player’s movement and can determine their velocity and power while weight lifting. The players are able to pull up their specialized workout developed by the staff. The coaching staff can see their progress and make any adjustments needed before a game.
